📝 Preparation Steps
1
Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and spices in a medium bowl.
(250g) all purpose flour ((fluffed, spooned, leveled)*)2 cupsbaking powder1 tablespoons
2
Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs for ⏱️ 15 seconds, then whisk in the apple cider, applesauce, and vanilla.

3
Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and fold them together until just a few flour streaks remain (don’t overmix), then fold in the apples. Let the batter rest for ⏱️ 15 minutes. Meanwhile:
4
Prep Oil and Make Glaze: Attach a candy or deep fry thermometer to the side of a Dutch oven or fryer (I use this pan), without touching the bottom of the pan. Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil to 355-365°F. Line a wire rack with paper towels. Whisk the Glaze ingredients together in a medium bowl.
5
Drop Batter: Using about a 1/4 cup cookie or ice cream scoop, drop the batter into the oil, spreading it out a little as you drop (don't stress, it won't spread too much). Repeat 2-3 more times, carefully monitoring the frying oil temperature, and adjusting as needed.
6
Fry: Cook each side until golden brown (about ⏱️ 2-3 minutes per side), and cooked through, then transfer to paper towels using a spider strainer or slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining batter.
7
Glaze: Let the fritters cool for ⏱️ 5 minutes, then dunk them in the glaze, coating all sides. Transfer to a clean wire rack for the glaze to set. Serve warm..
