Easy Baked Apple Fritters Recipe (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Fritters

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 1/2 cup whole milk
09 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
10 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
11 - 1 1/2 cups diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

→ Sweet Glaze

12 - 1 cup powdered sugar
13 - 2-3 tablespoons milk
14 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - Fire up your oven to 375°F and grab a baking sheet. Line it with parchment paper or give it a light coating of cooking spray.
02 - In a big bowl, throw together your flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Give it a good whisk to blend everything nicely.
03 - Grab another bowl and whisk up your eggs, milk, vanilla, and that melted butter until everything's playing nice together.
04 - Pour your wet mix into the dry ingredients. Stir just enough to get everything combined - don't go crazy! Then gently fold in those diced apples.
05 - Drop generous spoonfuls of your batter onto the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of breathing room between each one. Pop them in the oven for 14-16 minutes until they're golden brown.
06 - While your fritters are cooling off a bit, mix up the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until you've got a smooth glaze.
07 - Drizzle that sweet glaze all over your warm fritters. Let it set for a few minutes before diving in.

# Notes:

01 - These taste best warm - pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds to refresh if needed
02 - Try adding some chopped nuts to the batter for extra crunch
03 - Make the glaze thicker or thinner by adjusting the milk
