Fritters
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup milk
- 2 large apples, diced

Glaze
- 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
For the Fritters:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add applesauce and milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in diced apples.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large skillet to 375°F.
- Scoop ⅓ cup of batter and place it into the hot oil, flattening it slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer fritters to a cooling rack with parchment paper underneath to catch excess oil.
For the Glaze:
- Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Dip each fritter into the glaze, allowing excess to drip back onto the rack. Let the glaze harden before serving.
