Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 2 large eggs
– 3/4 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 2 cups diced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 2-3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Preparation:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. - Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. - Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, and whisk until combined. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. - Fold in Apples:
Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until they are evenly distributed. - Shape the Fritters:
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each fritter. - Bake:
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. - Prepare the Glaze:
While the fritters are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. - Glaze the Fritters:
Once the fritters are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters. - Serve:
Serve the fritters warm and enjoy!
