1. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in medium bowl. Make a well in the center and add 1/3
cup milk, eggs and applesauce. Stir just to combine. Fold in apples.
2. Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in heavy skillet, dutch oven or deep fryer to 375 degrees. Drop about 1/4 cup of batter per
fritter into hot oil; spreading it out as you drop. Cook each side until golden brown; approximately 2 minutes per side.
Use a slotted spoon to remove to paper towels to drain.
3. Whisk together 1/4 cup milk, powdered sugar and vanilla. Dunk each fritters in the glaze turning over to make sure
both sides coated. Place on wire racks to air dry and drip.

N OT E S

Don’t over-mix the batter as it may make the fritters tough.

Don’t overcrowd the pan when frying so the donuts cook better and the oil temperature is easier to maintain.
Use a candy thermometer to track the temperature of the oil.
A dutch oven or heavy pot helps the oil hold its temperature.
Try to maintain a constant temperature of 375 degrees. When you add the batter the temperature will drop so you
must increase the heat a tad. Likewise when you remove the fritters from the oil the temperature will increase so you
need to turn the heat down a tad.
Remove the fried fritters to paper towels to drain.
Store the cooled cooked fritters wrapped loosely in paper towels in a brown paper bag.
