Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups diced apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
- Combine the Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Shape the Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Glaze the Fritters: Allow the fritters to cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze over the top. Let it set for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy your warm, soft, and delicious Baked Apple Fritters with a cup of coffee or tea!
Notes
- Feel free to substitute the apples with your favorite variety or mix of apples.
- For an extra touch, you can add a dash of nutmeg to the glaze for more spice.
- Make sure the fritters are slightly cooled before drizzling the glaze to prevent it from melting too quickly.
