Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

Apple Fritters:

  • 1½ cups flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp allspice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp cold butter cut into pieces
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Honeycrisp apple peeled and finely diced

Vanilla Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.
  • Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
  • Gently stir in the apple.
  • Drop ¼ cupfuls of batter several inches apart on a baking sheet.  Side Note: For small fritters, use a heaping tablespoonful.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until bottoms are golden brown and the center is set.  Side Note: If you are making small fritters, start checking for doneness at 8 minutes.
  • Remove to a wire cooling rack and turn the oven to broil.
  • Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Brush a thin layer of glaze over them. Place under the broiler.
  • Broil for 2-4 minutes, or until it turns golden and the glaze bubbles.
  • Carefully remove the baking sheet to a wire cooling rack.
  • Brush the remaining glaze over the warm fritters.
  • Let the glaze harden and serve. Enjoy!
  • Side Note: These baked apple fritters are best eaten the same day.
