Ingredients (Fritters):
2 medium apples, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
¾ cup milk
¼ cup melted butter (cooled)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Ingredients (Glaze):
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
Prep apples & dry mix: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat eggs, then whisk in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Mix batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in diced apples gently.
Shape & bake: Drop ¼-cup scoops of batter onto the baking sheet (leave 2 inches between each). Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool: Let fritters cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, 2 tbsp milk, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth. Add more milk, 1 tsp at a time, if too thick. Drizzle over warm fritters.
Serve: Enjoy immediately! The glaze sets in 10 minutes, but they’re heavenly warm.
Pro Tip: Toss diced apples in 1 tsp cinnamon before folding in for extra cozy flavor!
