“My husband took one bite and said, ‘Did you just invent the best thing ever?’ My grandma would’ve called this breakfast and dessert in one, and the kids? They were licking the icing off their fingers before I could even sit down. This recipe’s a new family obsession.”

Ingredients (Fritters):
2 medium apples, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp salt

¼ tsp ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
¾ cup milk
¼ cup melted butter (cooled)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Ingredients (Glaze):
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

Prep apples & dry mix: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.

Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat eggs, then whisk in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.

Mix batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir until just combined (do not overmix). Fold in diced apples gently.

Shape & bake: Drop ¼-cup scoops of batter onto the baking sheet (leave 2 inches between each). Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool: Let fritters cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, 2 tbsp milk, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth. Add more milk, 1 tsp at a time, if too thick. Drizzle over warm fritters.

Serve: Enjoy immediately! The glaze sets in 10 minutes, but they’re heavenly warm.

Pro Tip: Toss diced apples in 1 tsp cinnamon before folding in for extra cozy flavor!
