Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk (or substitute almond milk for a dairy-free option)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work wonderfully)
For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step reminds me of the anticipation I felt waiting for my abuela’s treats to emerge from the oven.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. I often find myself humming a tune as I mix, just as my grandmother did.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the diced apples gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Remember, a gentle touch keeps the fritters tender.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each fritter.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This is where the magic happens, and the kitchen fills with the comforting aroma of spices and apples.
While the fritters are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the fritters are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before drizzling generously with the glaze. Enjoy the moment as the glaze sets and creates a sweet, shiny coating.
