Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain.
If glazing, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Dip each fritter or drizzle the glaze over them while still warm.
Tips for Perfect Apple Fritters
Use firm apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for the best texture.
Don’t overmix the batter; a slightly lumpy batter makes lighter fritters.
Keep oil temperature steady—too hot burns the outside before the inside cooks; too cool makes them greasy.
Serve warm for the absolute best flavor and texture.
