How to cook deliciously - Apple Fritters

1. Stage

In a large bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Set the bowl aside. Editor's Tip: For a thicker glaze, add more confectioners' sugar. If you prefer a thinner glaze, use a bit more milk.

2. Stage

In another large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Create a well in the center. Add the milk, eggs, applesauce, melted butter and vanilla extract. Use a fork to stir everything together until the batter is just combined. Fold in the apples. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.

3. Stage

Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet to 375°F. Working in batches, use a 1/4 cup measure to drop the batter into the hot oil. Fry the fritters for two to three minutes per side or until they're golden brown. Editor's Tip: A candy thermometer (just one of the candy making tools that you should have on hand) or a deep-fry thermometer will take all the guesswork out of getting the oil temperature right.

4. Stage

Transfer the fritters to paper towel-lined plates and blot them dry with paper towels. Dip the hot fritters into the glaze and flip to fully coat them. Transfer the fritters to a wire rack or sheet pan to cool.
