Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 2 medium apples)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
- In another bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Use a large cookie scoop or tablespoon to place generous portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fritters are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and remaining cinnamon until smooth and drizzling consistency is achieved.
- Let the fritters cool for about 5 minutes, then drizzle the glaze over them while they are still warm.
- Serve the warm baked apple fritters warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
- Feel free to experiment with other spices like cloves or cardamom.
- Adjust the glaze sweetness by modifying the powdered sugar amount.
- These fritters are best enjoyed warm, right out of the oven.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
