Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium apples)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the fritters are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if necessary.
- Once the fritters are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before drizzling with the glaze.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or raisins into the batter before baking.
- Experiment with different spices such as ginger or cardamom for a unique twist on the classic flavor.
