Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
2 large eggs
½ cup milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
2 tbsp milk for glaze
½ tsp vanilla extract for glaze

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in diced apples.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each fritter.
Bake for about 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.
While the fritters bake, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl for the glaze.
Once baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the fritters with the glaze before serving.

Keywords: Use fresh apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best flavor. Don't overmix the batter; it should be just combined for light fritters. Space fritters well on the baking sheet to ensure even baking.
