Baked Apple Fritters
Warm from the oven and drizzled with a sweet vanilla glaze, these baked apple fritters are a cozy treat bursting with tender apple chunks and cinnamon spice. They’re lighter than the classic fried version and perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a comforting snack any time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in the diced apples.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop 2 to 3 tablespoon-sized mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until the fritters are golden brown and lightly firm to the touch.
- While the fritters are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
- Remove fritters from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the glaze over the slightly warm fritters and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
