Ingredients You’ll Need

For the fritters:

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional, but recommended)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅔ cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1½ cups peeled, finely diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)

For the glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2–3 tablespoons milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. This prevents sticking and helps the fritters bake evenly.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mixing these first ensures the leavening and spices are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. Make sure the butter is slightly cooled so it doesn’t cook the egg.
