Ingredients
For the Fritters:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
- Step 4: Combine and Fold in Apples
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the diced apples gently, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Step 5: Shape and Bake
Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet using a large spoon or ice cream scoop. Flatten slightly to form fritter shapes. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Step 6: Prepare the Glaze
While the fritters are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
- Step 7: Glaze and Serve
Once the fritters have cooled slightly, drizzle or brush the glaze over the top. Let it set for a few minutes before serving.
