Ingredients
-
2 medium firm apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1 large egg
-
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Alcohol-Free)
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-
1–2 teaspoons water (adjust for consistency)
Instructions
-
Peel, core, and dice apples into small chunks. Toss with a little cinnamon and sugar; set aside.
-
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar until well combined.
-
In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in milk and Vanilla Extract (Alcohol-Free).
-
Pour wet mixture into dry mixture. Stir gently until combined.
-
Fold in diced apples carefully without overmixing.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto it, leaving space between each.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes until golden and set.

While baking, whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and water until smooth for the glaze.

Allow fritters to cool slightly. Drizzle glaze over the warm fritters before serving.
Notes
-
Use firm apples for the best texture.
-
Do not overmix the batter to keep fritters tender.

Adjust glaze thickness with more sugar or water as needed.
