Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups peeled and chopped apples
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Dry Seasonings and Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick surface.
- Create a dry ingredient blend by whisking flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl until evenly distributed.
- In a separate container, thoroughly combine milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until the mixture achieves a consistent, smooth texture.
- Integrate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just incorporated without overmixing.
- Delicately fold chopped apples and brown sugar into the batter, ensuring even distribution of fruit throughout.
- Carefully dollop rounded spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, creating circular fritter shapes with consistent size.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, monitoring until the fritters develop a golden-brown exterior.
- Remove from oven and allow fritters to cool slightly, maintaining a warm temperature for optimal glaze absorption.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, pourable consistency.
- Generously drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters, allowing it to cascade and set for a delectable finishing touch.
Notes
- Swap apples for different seasonal fruits like pears or peaches to create exciting flavor variations.
- Use gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version that maintains the same delightful texture.
- Reduce sugar content by substituting with natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey for a healthier alternative.
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch and nutty depth in the fritters.
