Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Prepare the apples by peeling and dicing them, then tossing with lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, mix milk, egg, and melted butter, then gradually combine with dry ingredients.
- Gently fold in the apple mixture until evenly distributed.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C), drop spoonfuls of batter onto a lined baking sheet, and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
- Don’t overmix the batter—lumps are okay for fluffy fritters.
- Add nuts or raisins for extra flavor and crunch.
- Drizzle with glaze (powdered sugar + milk) for a sweeter finish.
