Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup diced apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 large egg
Wet Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Dry Ingredients and Spices:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the dry mixture by combining flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium mixing bowl, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smoothly blended.
- Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring carefully to create a uniform batter without overmixing.
- Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, distributing them evenly to ensure each bite will have a delightful apple chunk.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the flour to absorb the liquid, creating a more cohesive texture.
Notes
- Ensure apples are evenly diced to guarantee consistent cooking and texture throughout the fritter bites.
- Add a pinch of extra cinnamon or nutmeg if you want a more robust warm spice flavor that complements the apples perfectly.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend to maintain the same light and crispy texture.
- When folding apples into the batter, be gentle to prevent breaking down the fruit and keep the chunks intact for delightful bursts of apple in each bite.
