Who said making apple fritters has to be hard? Making your own is easy when you start with biscuit dough.

Ingredients

Vegetable oil for deep frying
1 cup chopped peeled Granny Smith apple (1 medium)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Original Biscuits (8 Count)
2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Make With

Pillsbury Biscuits

Steps

1

In deep fat fryer or heavy 4-quart saucepan, heat 2 inches vegetable oil to 350°F.
2

In small bowl, mix apple and cinnamon until well mixed.
3

Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Using serrated knife, cut each biscuit horizontally to within 1/2 inch from edge to form a pocket. Spoon about 2 tablespoons apple mixture in center of each split biscuit; firmly pinch edges to seal. Shape each biscuit into 2 1/2x3 1/2-inch oval.
4

In hot oil, place 2 biscuits at a time; cook 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, until deep golden brown. Using slotted spoon, remove fritters from oil; place on cooling rack.
5

In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar, melted butter and 1 tablespoon milk. If necessary, add additional milk 1 teaspoon at a time until glaze is thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over warm fritters.
