→ Sweet Glaze
12 -
2-3 tablespoons milk
13 -
1 cup powdered sugar
14 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F and get a baking tray. Either line it with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 -
Stir together your flour, sugar, baking powder, spices (cinnamon and nutmeg), and salt in a big mixing bowl. Make sure there are no lumps!
03 -
In a new bowl, mix the eggs, butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
04 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir carefully until it's just combined—don’t overdo it. Add in the apple pieces gently at the end.
05 -
Spoon out scoops of batter onto your prepared baking tray. Leave some space (about 2 inches) between them. Bake for around 14–16 minutes, or until golden brown.
06 -
While they cool a bit, whip together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. This is your glaze.
07 -
Drizzle the glaze over the fritters while they're still warm. Wait a few minutes for it to set, then dig in!
# Notes:
01 -
Best eaten fresh, but heat them for 10 seconds in the microwave to refresh.
02 -
For bonus crunch, add some chopped nuts to the mix.
03 -
Thin or thicken the glaze by adjusting the milk amount.
