Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
2. In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
4. Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
7. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
10. Dip each fritter into the glaze, coating both sides evenly. Allow any excess glaze to drip off before transferring the fritters to a wire rack to set.
11. Serve the Amish Apple Fritters warm and enjoy their delightful sweetness and comforting flavors!
