⭐ Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Fritters

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg (optional but recommended)
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• ¾ cup milk
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups diced apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith work great)

For the Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tbsp milk
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

🍏 Step-by-Step Method

Step 1 — Prepare the Apples

Wash, peel if you like, and finely dice the apples into small cubes.
Smaller pieces cook better and blend smoothly into the dough.

You can toss the apples with a tiny bit of cinnamon and sugar for extra flavor (optional).

Step 2 — Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

• Flour
• Sugar
• Baking powder
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Salt

Make sure everything is well combined to avoid clumping.

Step 3 — Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk:

• Eggs
• Milk
• Melted butter
• Vanilla

Whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 4 — Combine the Wet and Dry

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
Stir gently with a spatula until just combined — do not overmix or the fritters will be dense.

Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed.

Step 5 — Shape the Fritters

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Using a large spoon or ice-cream scoop, drop mounds of batter onto the sheet.
Make sure to leave space between them because they will puff up.

Step 6 — Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 11–14 minutes, or until the fritters are firm and lightly golden on top.

If you want extra caramelization, you can brush the tops with a little melted butter halfway through baking.

Step 7 — Make the Glaze

Whisk together:

• Powdered sugar
• Milk (add slowly—just enough to make a pourable glaze)
• Vanilla

The glaze should be smooth, shiny, and slightly thick.

Step 8 — Glaze the Fritters

Once the fritters come out of the oven, let them cool for 3–5 minutes.

Dip each fritter in the glaze or spoon the glaze over the tops, letting it drip down the sides.

For a stronger glaze layer, repeat once the first coat sets.

🍎 Tips for Perfect Baked Apple Fritters

• Use fresh, crisp apples for the best texture.
• Don’t overmix the batter—it keeps the fritters soft.
• If you love extra cinnamon flavor, sprinkle a little on the glaze as it dries.
• Want fluffier fritters? Add 1 tbsp of Greek yogurt to the batter.
• For caramel-like apples, sauté the diced apples with 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp brown sugar for 3 minutes before adding them.

🎉 Serve and Enjoy

These baked apple fritters are best enjoyed warm, with the glaze slightly sticky and the apples soft and fragrant. Pair them with:

• A cup of tea
• Hot chocolate
• A warm mug of spiced apple cider
• Vanilla ice cream for dessert

They also reheat beautifully for a quick breakfast treat the next morning.
