For the Fritters: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 cup milk, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 1/2 cups diced apples (about 2 medium apples).
For the Glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
Preheat & Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
Combine & Fold: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
Shape & Bake: Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping into small rounds. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Prepare Glaze: While the fritters bake, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth.
Glaze & Serve: Once the fritters have cooled slightly, drizzle or dip them in the glaze. Let the glaze set before serving.
Use a mix of tart and sweet apples (like Granny Smith & Honeycrisp) for extra flavor.
For added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or coarse sugar on top before baking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat for a fresh taste.
