Description

Easy and Delicious Baked Apple Fritters are a healthy, quick, and satisfying treat that combines fresh apples with a light batter, baked to perfection. These homemade apple fritter bites are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or desserts, offering a delightful twist on traditional deep-fried fritters with a crispy exterior and tender inside.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
  • Optional: caramel sauce or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling and chopping the apples into small pieces. In a bowl, combine the chopped apples with a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon to enhance the natural sweetness and flavor.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth. Gently fold in the apple mixture to evenly distribute the apples.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with parchment paper. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling about three-quarters full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Allow the baked apple fritters to cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce. Serve warm with whipped cream or your favorite dessert toppings.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add chopped nuts or raisins to the apple mixture.
  • Monitor baking time as oven temperatures may vary.
  • You can also freeze baked fritters and reheat them for later convenience.
