Baked Apple Fritters
A Simple, Cozy Dessert or Snack
These baked apple fritters are soft, flavorful, and lightly sweet — the perfect treat for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon snack. Baked instead of fried, they’re easier to make and lighter, but just as delicious.
🛒 Ingredients (Serves ~6)
2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
1½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Mix dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine wet ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
Combine batter:
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined — don’t overmix.
Fold in apples:
Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed.
Scoop onto baking sheet:
Drop about ¼ cup of batter per fritter onto the prepared sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake:
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Cool & Serve:
Let fritters cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
🍽 Tips
Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
Serve with whipped cream, honey, or ice cream for an extra treat.
