Creating delicious Apple Fritters is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Oil: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk until well blended.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs, and then stir in the milk and vanilla extract until combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
5. Add Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Fry the Fritters: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, carefully drop batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
7. Drain on Paper Towels: Once golden brown, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional milk if necessary.
9. Coat the Fritters: Dip the warm fritters into the glaze, making sure they are fully coated, or drizzle the glaze over them for a lovely finish.
10. Serve Warm: Sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired and serve immediately for the best flavor.
