Baked Apple Fritters Recipe
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1/2 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped Honeycrisp apple
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
-Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-Whisk together all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-Whisk milk, egg, and vanilla extract together in a cup. Stir into flour mixture just until combined; stir in chopped apple. Use a scoop or spoon to drop 1/4-cup mounds onto prepared baking sheet.
-Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted near the center of fritter comes out clean, 11 to 12 minutes. Remove to a wire rack.
-Preheat the oven’s broiler. Whisk together confectioner’s sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Brush a thin layer of glaze over fritters, and place under broiler.
-Broil fritters until glaze is bubbly, about 2 minutes.
