Warm Baked Apple Fritters
Soft, spiced apple fritters baked to golden perfection with juicy apple chunks and a hint of cinnamon. A healthier twist on a classic treat!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the diced apples using a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet for each fritter. Use your fingers or a spoon to gently shape them into rounds, leaving space between each fritter.
- Bake the fritters for 15–18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning.
- Allow the fritters to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with glaze, or roll in cinnamon sugar while warm.
Notes
To make these fritters gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure your baking powder is gluten-free.
