Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2/3 cup (160ml) milk
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (about 2 medium) apples, peeled and diced small
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
- 3–4 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss peeled and diced apples with lemon juice in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined.
- Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Drop 1/4-cup portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While fritters bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt to make the glaze.
- Let fritters cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack with parchment underneath.
- Spoon glaze over warm fritters, letting it drip down the sides.
- For extra sweetness, apply a second coat of glaze after the first has set (about 5 minutes).
- Allow glaze to set completely before serving (about 10-15 minutes).
