Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium firm apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1-2 teaspoons water (adjust for consistency)

Method
 

  1. Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks. Toss them with a little cinnamon and sugar to infuse extra flavor and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the diced apples carefully.
  5. Spoon dollops of batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes.
  6. While baking, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice and water until smooth.
  7. After fritters have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top and serve warm.
