Baked apple fritters are a sweet, cinnamon-spiced treat that's easy to make and perfect for breakfast or dessert. Enjoy them warm with a glaze or cinnamon sugar coating for extra flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples Granny Smith, Fuji, or Gala
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts or raisins for added texture
For the glaze (optional):
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Apples:
- Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces. Set aside.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
Make the Batter:
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped apples (and optional add-ins like nuts or raisins).
Shape and Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the baking sheet, shaping them into fritter-like mounds. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Make the Glaze (optional):
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the warm fritters once they are out of the oven.
Serve:
- Serve the fritters warm, with or without glaze, and enjoy!
