👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
3. Prepare the wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine the batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Fold in the diced apples, making sure they're evenly distributed throughout the batter. Avoid overmixing.
5. Shape the fritters
Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each fritter. Gently flatten each mound into a small, rustic round shape.
6. Bake until golden
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the fritters are set and lightly golden around the edges. For a more golden finish, you can broil them briefly at the end, watching carefully to prevent burning.
7. Prepare the glaze
While the fritters cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Add a little extra milk if needed to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
8. Glaze and serve
Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm apple fritters. Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
💡 Tips for the Best Apple Fritters
Choose the right apples: Granny Smith apples add a delicious tart flavor, while Honeycrisp or Fuji apples provide extra sweetness.
Cut the apples finely: Small, evenly diced pieces help the apples cook properly and distribute throughout the batter.
Don't overmix: Stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the fritters tender and fluffy.
Adjust the glaze: Add milk a teaspoon at a time until you reach your preferred consistency.
Enjoy them fresh: These fritters taste best slightly warm, when the apples are tender and the glaze is sweet and delicious.
🍽️ How to Store
Store leftover apple fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes to restore some of their softness. For the best texture, add the glaze just before serving.
