Baked Apple Fritters
Baked apple fritters give you a lighter, crisper edge with less oil than their fried counterparts, delivering satisfying crunch on the outside and juicy apple goodness inside.
Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment paper
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 medium Apples peeled, cored, and diced
- 200 g All-purpose flour
- 50 g Sugar for the batter
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 150 ml Milk dairy or non-dairy
- 50 g Powdered sugar for glaze
- 20 ml Lemon juice for glaze
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract optional, for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 °C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk, then fold it into the dry ingredients until just combined; small lumps are okay.
- Coat the diced apples lightly with flour, then fold them into the batter.
- Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into mounds.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and apples are tender, turning once halfway through.
- For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice and vanilla until pourable.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters and let it set slightly before serving.
Notes
Tip: For extra crispiness, use convection mode if your oven has it and keep an eye on the color while baking.
