Description

Flaky, golden pastries filled with tender apple bites, warm spices, and a sweet glaze. These Baked Apple Fritters are a cozy, lighter take on the classic, perfect for breakfast, dessert, or as a coffee-break treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala work best), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1-2 tsp milk (for glaze)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Core, peel, and dice the apples into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
  6. Gently fold in the diced apples with a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the fritters about 2 inches apart. You can flatten the mounds slightly with the back of a spoon if you prefer a more traditional fritter shape.
  8. Bake for 14–17 minutes, or until the fritters are golden and puffed. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  9. While the fritters bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract for the glaze. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
  10. Once the fritters are out of the oven, drizzle them with the glaze while they are still warm. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • If you want a richer glaze, add a little butter or maple syrup for extra flavor.
  • You can make these fritters ahead of time and store them in an airtight container for up to two days.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free 1:1 baking blend.
