1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

3/4 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Prepare the Batter:

Fry the Fritters:

- Scoop batter (about 1/4 cup per fritter) into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

Glaze the Fritters:
- Drizzle the glaze over warm fritters or dip them directly into the glaze. Serve immediately for the best taste

Use fresh, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture in the fritters.
Drizzle the vanilla glaze while the fritters are still warm for a perfect, glossy finish.
