Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg

Add-ins

  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until evenly combined, creating a well-blended base for the batter.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the large egg and whole milk together until smooth, then gradually pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring carefully until just combined to avoid overmixing and maintain tenderness.
  4. Fold in apples: Gently fold the finely chopped peeled Granny Smith apple pieces into the batter until they are evenly distributed, adding a nice texture and fresh flavor.
  5. Portion the batter: Using a spoon, drop small spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow room for rising during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fritter bites turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Serve: Serve the fritter bites warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for a nice tartness that balances the sweetness of the fritters.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
  • These fritter bites can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract for additional flavor layers.
