Baked Apple Fritters

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2/3 cup milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples

1 cup powdered sugar

2–3 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and eggs. Beat well until fully combined.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small fritters. Leave space between each fritter to allow for spreading.

Bake for 12–15 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, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.

Once the fritters are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Dip each fritter into the glaze, ensuring they are fully coated. Place them back on the baking sheet to allow the glaze to set.
