Ingredients
Scale
This recipe calls for everyday ingredients that are likely already in your kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg for an extra spice kick
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will keep the fritters from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg if using. This dry mix is the foundation of your fritters.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. This is where the fritters get their juicy bursts of flavor.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor experience.
