Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Apple Fritters

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add milk and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Transfer the fried fritters to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes.
  • Once ready, let them cool slightly on a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For best results, don't overmix the batter and choose a mix of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp.
