Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Glaze

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter and bake thoroughly.
  2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon until combined. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the milk, then pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the diced apples gently, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Bake the Fritters: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for about 15-18 minutes or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Prepare the Glaze: While the fritters bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and drizzle-ready.
  5. Glaze and Serve: Once the fritters have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over them generously. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful treat.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a flavorful contrast in the fritters.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or soy milk and omit the egg or use an egg replacer.
  • These fritters can also be pan-fried for a crispier texture if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
