Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk or lemon juice
- Optional: cinnamon sugar or caramel sauce for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Apple Filling: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even pieces. Toss with cinnamon and set aside.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry, mixing until just combined.
- Assemble and Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently fold apple slices into batter. Drop spoonfuls onto the baking sheet, spacing evenly. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Prepare the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar and milk or lemon juice until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
- Glaze and Serve: Transfer baked fritters to a wire rack. Drizzle with glaze and optional toppings like cinnamon sugar or caramel sauce. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use firm apples to prevent mushiness after baking.
- Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
- For a crisper exterior, bake a few minutes longer, but watch to prevent burning.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven or microwave for best results.
