Apple Fritters

1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup chopped apple

2 cups powdered sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons milk

• Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon.  

• Stir in milk and egg until just combined. Fold in apple. 

• Pour oil into skillet so that it is approximately 1-1/2 in. deep. Heat oil on high. Oil is ready when a little dough thrown in floats to top. 

• Carefully add dough to oil in heaping teaspoons. Cook until brown, about 2 minutes, then flip. Cook another 1-2 minutes, until both sides are browned. 

• Transfer briefly to paper towels to absorb excess oil, then transfer to cooling rack. 

• Make glaze by stirring milk and powdered sugar together in a small bowl. Drizzle over apple fritters. 

• Wait approximately 3 minutes for glaze to harden, then flip fritters and drizzle glaze over the other side. 

• Best served warm.
