Packed with cinnamon and juicy apple chunks, these fritters are a perfectly scrumptious snack for anytime! Kids love them! (And adults too!)

FRITTERS:
2 C chopped apples (about 2 large apples)
2 C flour
1/2 C sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 Tb baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
2/3 C milk
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla

GLAZE:
3 C powdered sugar
2 Tb butter, melted
5 Tb milk
1 tsp vanilla
dash salt
Peel, core and chop two large apples. You will need 2 cups total.
In a large mixing bowl, add 2 C flour, 1/2 C sugar, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 Tb baking powder and 2 tsp cinnamon.
Toss them together with a fork to combine.
Pour 2/3 C milk into another medium bowl.
Add 2 eggs and 1/2 tsp vanilla and whisk it all together with a fork.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until combined.
Fold in the apples. Be careful not to over mix.
Pour about 4 cups of canola or vegetable oil into a deep skillet. You want about 1 1/2 inches of oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
Heat it up over medium high heat (closer to high, than to medium).
You want to be sure the oil is hot enough for frying before you place the batter into it. You can test it by placing a tiny spoonful of batter into the oil. If the oil bubbles and the dough "floats" the oil is ready.
Carefully set spoonfuls (about 1/3 C each) of batter into the hot oil.
Spread the center of each piece out as much as you can (with your spoon) so they aren't too ball like.
Allow them to brown on the bottom and then turn them over to cook on the other side. Should only take about 2-3 minutes per side.
Set the cooked fritters on a large cookie sheet covered with paper towels to cool.
To make the glaze, place 3 C powdered sugar, 2 Tb melted butter, 1 tsp vanilla, 5 Tb milk and a dash of salt into a medium sized mixing bowl.
Whisk it together to combine. Add a bit more milk if it gets too thick.
Place a wire rack on top of a large cookie sheet.
​Set the fritters on the rack and drizzle the glaze over the tops. Wait for the glaze to set (should only take 2-3 minutes). Then turn the fritters over and glaze the other side.

 This is a delicious treat, best served slightly warm!

*I was not paid for this review! I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion!

  I'm super picky when it comes to hot sauce. I used to not even like it and wouldn't even think about putting some on a taco. However, my husband loves hot sauce and over the past few years has gotten me to start using it. Now, I'm currently six months pregnant, and for some reason I've just been craving hot sauce on everything! There's no way I can have a breakfast taco without halfway drowning it in some hot sauce. I don't like the chunky salsa types, only the actual hot sauce types. I'm not huge on a lot of heat, but some heat is ok.
  First off, I gotta say I absolutely love their label design! It reminds me of Flash Tattoo Art! And the name is absolutely appealing as well! Mr. Biscuits Burning Love hot sauce is almost a little too much heat for me, but my husband loves it! It comes in a nice 5 oz bottle which is pretty much the standard size. The key ingredients are fresh habañero, jalapeño, fresno and Thai chili, garlic, onion, organic citrus fruits and organic fireweed honey. It is all natural, gluten free, fresh, and has no added fillers. It has high heat with low vinegar. Like I said, it was a little too hot for me, barely, but the flavors were great! The flavors are well blended, you immediately taste the peppers with a follow up of the citrus and honey. Even though it has honey, it definitely wasn't sweet though! It was very low in vinegar, which I really like since I don't like twangy stuff too much. My mouth was pleasantly burning for about 30 minutes after eating a taco with this! It wasn't overpoweringly hot, just a little too much for me. My husband absolutely loved it though and slathered on some seconds! 
  If you'd like to try a new, well-balanced hot sauce, you can get some here:
