Baked Apple Fritters
Delightfully spongy pastries filled with juicy apple chunks and warm spices, then topped with a sweet glaze. Light and airy with the perfect balance of cinnamon, nutmeg, and tender apples.
Ingredients
For the Fritters
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups apples peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, then fold in the diced apples and melted butter until evenly distributed.
- Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the fritters are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Remove the fritters from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack, then drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters.
