Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 3/4 cup boxed pancake mix
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced small
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Splash whole milk
Instructions
- For the fritters: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot to 375 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, combine the pancake mix, granulated sugar, cinnamon, milk, vanilla and egg in a bowl; some lumps are ok. Fold in the apples.
- For the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed, to make a thick dippable glaze.
- In batches, drop 1/4-cup scoops of the batter into the oil and cook until they turn a dark amber color, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a rack or paper towel-lined plate.
- Let the fritters cool slightly, about 30 to 45 seconds, before drizzling over the icing and returning them to the rack. Serve warm.
