Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1.5 cups diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cooking surface.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blending flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until uniform in texture.
- In a separate container, whisk together liquid components including milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until achieving a smooth, consistent mixture.
- Gently incorporate wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing, then delicately fold diced apples throughout the batter.
- Carefully portion batter onto prepared baking sheet, crafting rounded dollops that will transform into individual fritters during baking.
- Transfer baking sheet to preheated oven and cook for 15-18 minutes, monitoring until fritters develop a golden exterior and a toothpick emerges cleanly when inserted.
- While fritters cool, construct a glossy glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk and vanilla until achieving a silky, pourable consistency.
- Once fritters have reached room temperature, embellish with glaze by either drizzling or fully immersing each piece, allowing coating to solidify before serving.
Notes
- Swap out all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version that maintains the same delightful texture.
- Use dairy-free milk and coconut oil instead of butter to create a vegan-friendly adaptation without compromising the fritters’ rich flavor.
- Reduce sugar content by using a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a lower-carb option that still delivers incredible taste.
- For added nutrition, incorporate finely chopped nuts or seeds into the batter to boost protein and provide extra crunch and depth to the fritters.
