Baked Apple Fritters With Cinnamon Glaze

食材

2 medium apples, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

1½ tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

2 large eggs

¾ cup milk

¼ cup melted butter (cooled)

1 tsp vanilla extract

GLAZE

1 cup powdered sugar

2–3 tbsp milk

½ tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

步驟

1. Prep apples & dry mix:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

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

2. Combine wet ingredients:

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.

3. Mix batter:

Pour wet ingredients into the dry mix. Stir gently until just combined (don’t overmix).

Fold in diced apples with a spatula.

4. Shape & bake:

Drop ¼-cup scoops of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each.

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

5. Cool:

Let the fritters cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

6. Make the glaze:

Whisk powdered sugar with 2 tbsp milk, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using).

Add more milk, 1 tsp at a time, until drizzle consistency is reached.

7. Glaze & serve:

Drizzle glaze over warm fritters and serve. The glaze sets in about 10 minutes — but they’re best warm!

筆記

Toss your diced apples in 1 tsp cinnamon before folding them into the batter for an extra pop of cozy flavor.
