Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large apples (peeled, cored, and chopped)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F 190°C. This initial step is crucial because a hot oven helps the fritters rise beautifully and achieve that golden brown color you desire. Let the anticipation build as the oven warms up, filling your kitchen with a cozy aroma.
Step 2: Prepare the Apples
Grab your fresh apples and introduce them to the peeler. Remove the skin to reveal the sweet juicy fruit beneath. Next core and chop the apples into small bite-sized pieces. As you chop you can almost taste the delightful tartness which will complement the sweet dough perfectly.
Step 3: Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour sugar baking powder cinnamon and a pinch of salt. These dry ingredients blend harmoniously creating a base that will make your Baked Apple Fritters fluffy and flavorful. In a separate bowl combine eggs vanilla and milk. Once mixed fold the wet ingredients into the dry mix gently creating a thick lumpy batter.
Step 4: Fold in the Apples
Add the chopped apples into your batter folding them gently to ensure they are evenly distributed. Each piece of fruit introduces moisture and sweetness making every bite of your Baked Apple Fritters a delightful surprise.
Step 5: Scoop and Bake
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop drop rounded tablespoons of the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each fritter for them to spread as they bake. Imagine how lovely they’ll look as they puff up!
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes. Watch the magic unfold as they begin to turn golden and aromatic. The smell of cinnamon and baked apples wafting through your home is pure bliss promising a delicious reward.
Step 7: Cool and Glaze
Once out of the oven let your fritters cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile prepare a simple glaze with powdered sugar and milk to drizzle over these delightful treats. As the warm glaze cascades down each fritter it creates a sweet finishing touch that you won’t want to miss!
Notes
Note 1: Fresh Ingredients MatterAlways opt for fresh, crisp apples to achieve the best flavor. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples are fantastic choices due to their balance of sweetness and tartness.
Note 2: Don’t OvermixWhile mixing the batter, remember that a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can result in tough fritters rather than the light and airy treats you want to achieve.
Note 3: Experiment with FlavorsFeel free to add a dash of nutmeg or a handful of nuts or raisins for extra flavor and texture. The beauty of Baked Apple Fritters is in their versatility!
