Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowls
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 grater for nutmeg
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg or freshly grated
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup powdered sugar, for glaze
  • 2 tablespoons milk, for glaze
  • optional additional cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk until well blended.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the diced apples gently using a rubber spatula.
  • Drop tablespoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each fritter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through.
  • While the fritters are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Adjust consistency if necessary by adding more milk or powdered sugar.
  • Once the fritters are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters.
  • Optional: Sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired.

Notes

For variety, you can add raisins or nuts to the batter.
These fritters are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
Feel free to adjust the amount of spices according to your preference.
