Description
Warm fritters boasting soft apple chunks enveloped in a lightly spiced batter, baked until crisp at the edges. A dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey elevates the sweet, homey flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil.
- In a medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl whisk together egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
- Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces.
- Add diced apples to the wet mixture, then pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let the fritters cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute apples with pears for a different flavor.
- Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.
- Dough should be mixed until just combined to avoid tough fritters.
- Baked fritters can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
