Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups peeled and diced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Add apples: Gently fold in the diced apples.
  5. Bake: Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each fritter onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Make the glaze: While the fritters bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. Glaze the fritters: Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters or dip the tops for a thicker coating. Let the glaze set before serving.

Notes

  • These fritters are best served warm but can be reheated in the microwave or toaster oven.
  • Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or swapping in pears for a twist.
  • For extra sweetness, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking.
