Ingredienser

For the Apple Fritters

1½ cups all-purpose flour

Fremgangsmåte

Preheat the oven:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

Prepare the apples:

Peel, core, and finely dice the apples. Pat them lightly with a paper towel if they are very juicy.

Mix the dry ingredients:

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

Mix the wet ingredients:

In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.

Make the batter:

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Fold in the diced apples. Do not overmix—the batter should be thick and chunky.

Shape the fritters:

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each fritter and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each mound with the back of a spoon.

Bake:

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the fritters are puffed and lightly golden around the edges.

Optional golden finish:

For a deeper golden top, brush the fritters lightly with melted butter during the final few minutes of baking.

Make the glaze:

Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Add a tiny amount of milk if the glaze is too thick.

Glaze:

Let the fritters cool for about 5 minutes, then drizzle generously with the vanilla glaze.

Serve:

Enjoy warm or at room temperature. They are especially delicious with coffee, tea, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
