  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine diced apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the apple mixture.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for roughly 3-inch diameter fritters.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the fritters are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk (starting with 2 tablespoons), and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  10. Let the fritters cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Drizzle generously with the vanilla glaze while still warm.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, use a tart apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. Store leftover fritters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can reheat them briefly in the microwave for a warm treat. You can substitute the milk in the glaze with lemon juice for a tangy twist. For extra flavor, add a pinch of cardamom to the apple mixture.
