Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and eggs. Beat well until fully combined.
- Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Form Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small fritters. Leave space between each fritter to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare Glaze: While the fritters are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
- Glaze Fritters: Once the fritters are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Dip each fritter into the glaze, ensuring they are fully coated. Place them back on the baking sheet to allow the glaze to set.
Notes
- You can add chopped nuts or raisins to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
- For a twist, try drizzling caramel sauce over the glazed fritters before serving.
