These Baked Apple Fritters will make you and your loved ones feel as cozy as a blanket on a cold day. These bite-sized treats have their roots in American heritage and provide a healthier alternative to the traditional fried fritters while still paying homage to our national fruit, apples. Without the added oil from frying, these fritters are the ideal combination of comfort and convenience, and I’ve met many families who love the idea of apple sweets. Whether you’re hosting a holiday party or just want a sweet treat to round out Sunday supper, these Baked Apple Fritters will bring a smile to your face and a warm aroma of cinnamon and apples into your home.

Though delicious on its own, Baked Apple Fritters are taken to the next level with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Serve them with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a touch of honey for a more mild flavor. Finally, nothing says “cozy dessert” like finishing off the meal with a hot cup of coffee or cider.

The following ingredients are needed: 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup each of granulated sugar and brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of powdered cinnamon. Two big apples should be peeled, cored, and chopped.
1-1/2 teaspoons of salt-two-thirds cups of milk
This recipe calls for two eggs that have been softly beaten, two tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, one teaspoon of vanilla essence, and, if desired, powdered sugar for dusting.

What to do
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and gently butter a bakeware.
2. Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and granulated and granulated sugar in a large basin. Whisk in the baking powder.
Third, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a another basin.
4. Carefully combine the wet and dry ingredients by folding them together until just incorporated. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are OK.
5. Distribute the chopped apples equally throughout the batter by folding them in.
6. Spoon 1/4 cup (or less if your fritters are smaller) batter onto a baking sheet, leaving room for them.
7. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until top is golden and middle is firm.
8. Transfer the fritters to a wire rack after letting them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
9. If you’d like, you may dust it with powdered sugar before serving.
Changes and Hints
If you have children who are finicky eaters, you may want to use their preferred apple type in the fritters.
– A For an additional crunch, feel free to add a handful of almonds. If you want a dairy-free version, you may swap the milk with almond or oat milk. – Toss in a dash of allspice or nutmeg to the batter if you’re craving something spicier. Every mouthful will be delightfully warmed by it.
– A Feel free to double the quantity since these fritters freeze well. When chilled, transfer to a freezer-safe container and consume within three months; to reheat, just bake until hot and toasty. – After the fritters have cooled a little, glaze them with a mixture of powdered sugar and milk for a rich dessert.

All the love, warmth, and deliciousness in the world can’t compare to these Baked Apple Fritters, so gather the family and dig in!
