Description

These warm apple fritters are baked instead of fried, filled with tender apples, cinnamon, and finished with a sweet glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • A small splash of milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients by whisking together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Prepare the wet ingredients in a separate bowl by combining the milk, egg, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the peeled and diced apples until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop the batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each fritter.
  7. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
  8. Make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a small splash of milk in a bowl until smooth.
  9. Glaze the warm fritters by drizzling the glaze over them and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best finish, glaze while the fritters are warm. Enjoy them with coffee or tea.
