Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Fruit

  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and granulated sugar to blend the dry components thoroughly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted unsalted butter until smooth, then pour this mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix for tender fritters.
  4. Fold in Apples: Gently fold the peeled and diced apples into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking them down.
  5. Shape and Bake: Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow room for expansion. Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until the fritters turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Prepare Glaze: While the fritters cool slightly, mix the powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to create a smooth glaze.
  7. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm fritters and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweet and tart flavor.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
  • The glaze can be adjusted in thickness by adding more or less milk.
  • Fritters are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
