The Ingredients
For the Fritters:
2 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, but wonderful)
2 large eggs
⅔ cup milk (whole or 2%)
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups peeled, finely chopped apples (about 2 medium apples—Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji work beautifully)
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating (Optional but Amazing):
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk or cream
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
The Method: Mix, Drop, Bake, Glaze
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
Flour
Sugar
Baking powder
Cinnamon
Salt
Nutmeg (if using)
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together:
Eggs
Milk
Melted butter
Vanilla extract
Step 4: Combine
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick—that’s correct.
Gently fold in the chopped apples. Don’t overmix—a few streaks are fine.
Step 5: Drop and Bake
Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. They’ll spread slightly.
