Soft, golden baked apple fritters filled with juicy apples and warm cinnamon, topped with a sweet vanilla glaze for the ultimate cozy treat.

Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour: 2 cups – The base that gives structure and softness.
  • Baking Powder: 2 teaspoons – Helps the fritters rise fluffy and light.
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon – Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon – Infuses warm, aromatic spice.
  • Granulated Sugar: 1/2 cup – Sweetens the fritter dough.
  • Eggs: 2 large – Binds everything together with richness.
  • Milk: 1/2 cup – Adds moisture and smooth texture.
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon – Gives a subtle sweet aroma and flavor depth.
  • Unsalted Butter (melted): 1/4 cup – Adds buttery richness and moisture.
  • Diced Apples: 1 and 1/2 cups – Bring juicy texture and sweet-tart flavor.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In one bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar. In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter. Pour wet into dry and stir until just combined.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Scoop batter onto the baking sheet using a cookie scoop or spoon, spacing them evenly.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Press extra diced apples on top for more texture and visual appeal.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake for 14–16 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Finishing Touches: While warm, drizzle with glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Let cool slightly, then enjoy warm with coffee or tea.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith for best texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep fritters light.
  • Glaze while warm for best absorption and shine.
  • Reheat leftovers in oven for a crisp texture revival.
