🍎 Quick and Easy Baked Apple Fritters
These baked apple fritters are a lighter, easy-to-make version of the classic fried treat. Sweet, soft inside, slightly crisp outside, and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
🧾 Ingredients
- 2 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ⅓ cup Milk
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Optional glaze: ½ cup Powdered sugar + 1–2 tablespoons milk
👨🍳 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped apples.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden and set.
- Optional: drizzle with a simple powdered sugar glaze once slightly cooled.
🍽️ Tips
- Use firm apples like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith so the fritters hold shape.
- Don’t overmix the batter; it keeps fritters light and tender.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of maple syrup to the glaze.
✅ These baked fritters are lower in fat than fried ones but still sweet and satisfying.
If you want, I can also provide a 5-minute microwave version that’s super quick for a last-minute treat.
