Instructions
Let’s roll up our sleeves and get started on these mouthwatering fritters. With the spirit of creativity and care, we’ll transform these ingredients into a delightful treat.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until well blended.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
- Toss the diced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning, then fold them gently into the batter.
- Using a spoon, drop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
