The summer is one of my favorite times of the year because those ripe fresh peaches are something else. One of my fave ways to use them up is in my peach fritters recipe. I dice them small, add them to a spiced batter, fry them up and add a bomb glaze. When I made these for my team, they lost their minds at how good they were.

How to Make Peach Fritters
- Dry your peach slices on paper towels to remove excess moisture. Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in another, then combine them with the peaches.
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven to 350 degrees. Drop heaping portions of batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly. Fry until golden brown, around 2-3 minutes per side, and then let them cool on a wire rack.
- For the glaze, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, nectar, and spices. Drizzle over the fritters, let it set, and serve!

Servings: 5 fritters
Ingredients
For the Fritters:
- 2 peaches peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying
For the Glaze:
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 cup peach nectar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Spread prepared peaches in single layer on paper towel–lined baking sheet and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
- Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in large bowl.
- Whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract in medium bowl until combined. Stir in peaches into flour mixture. Then add milk mixture into dry ingredients.
- Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350 degrees. Use 1/3-cup measure to transfer 5 heaping portions of batter to oil. Press batter lightly with back of spoon to flatten. Fry, adjusting burner as necessary to maintain oil temperature between 325 and 350 degrees, until deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to wire rack set inside rimmed baking sheet. Bring oil back to 350 degrees and repeat with remaining batter. Let fritters cool 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk confectioners’ sugar, nectar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in medium bowl until smooth. Top each fritter with 1 heaping tablespoon glaze. Let glaze set 10 minutes. Serve.

Notes
Be sure to dice the peaches super small. It allows the fruit to melt into the dough.
You can place your leftover peach fritters in a resealable plastic bag and put them in the refrigerator. I personally prefer to leave my fritters at room temperature. They should be able to last at room temperature for a couple of days. Either way place them in a resealable plastic bag.

OMG these look so insanely delicious!!! I’m scared of deep frying but I might have to get over the fear to make these. I would seriously eat the whole plate of these – I love peaches and I love fritters!!!
You totally have to get over your fear! You can do it!
Jocelyn, I am DYING over these! Apple fritters are my favorite fall treat and your twist makes them totally appropriate to eat allll summer long. Can’t wait to get my hands on some fresh peaches to try these out 🙂
Oh nice!!!! Fritters are the best thing ever aren’t they?
I have never in my life fried anything (I’m a big scaredy baby lol). These look so worth it! Time to conquer another kitchen fear!

On top of the Fritters, you need to make good old Chicken Fried Steak and Fried Chicken. I try not to fry many things, but you have to at least try the Steak. Chicken is awesome in the oven or Air Fryer. Best of luck on your Fritters
