Apple Fritters

oil for deep-frying
3 1/2 cups cake flour
2 tablespoon white sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cup milk
3 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups apples - peeled, cored and chopped

Glaze:
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup

Heat oil in frying pan, over medium heat..
Mix the ingredients for the glaze in bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour in the milk, eggs, vanilla, and oil and stir until well blended. Mix in apples until they are evenly distributed.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes depending on the size. Fry in smaller batches so they are not crowded. Remove from the hot oil using a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels. Put on cooling rack. Spoon glaze over the top, while cooling, let set.
