Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 apple, peeled, cored and finely diced
- Oil for frying
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoon milk (more if needed)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare: Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep skillet to 350°F.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
4. Combine & Add Apple: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the diced apple.

Notes
To ensure your Apple Fritter Waffle Donuts turn out perfectly every time, keep these helpful tips in mind:
Batter Consistency: Aim for a thick, pourable batter that holds its shape. Add a bit more milk if needed to achieve the right texture.
Frying Temperature: Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F for best results. This ensures the donuts cook through without burning.
Customize It: Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties, like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith, for a unique twist. You can also add chopped nuts or spices to the batter for extra flavor.
