Description
Warm, cinnamon-scented fritters filled with juicy apples, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup peeled and diced apples
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and sugar until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, applesauce, and egg until everything is well incorporated and smooth.
- Combine mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Fold in apples: Carefully fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon and bake: Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each fritter for even baking.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- Prepare the glaze: For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth consistency. Drizzle over warm fritters before serving.
