2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk
13 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or light coating of nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly blended.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 -
Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and mix gently just until incorporated; avoid overmixing. Fold in diced apple evenly.
05 -
Drop rounded spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons each) of batter onto prepared baking sheet, spacing each mound roughly 2 inches apart. Shape gently if needed.
06 -
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into a fritter comes out clean.
07 -
While fritters bake, whisk powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. For thinner glaze, add an additional tablespoon of milk as needed.
08 -
Let fritters cool slightly, then drizzle or brush glaze generously over top. Serve warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
