Baked Cinnamon Apple Fritters

Baked Cinnamon Apple Fritters

These soft apple fritters are packed with juicy apple pieces and warm cinnamon flavor, then finished with a sweet vanilla glaze. Baking them makes this classic treat easy to prepare at home without deep-frying.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

¾ cup milk

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups peeled and diced apples

For the Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation Steps

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.

Whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla separately. Stir into the dry ingredients just until combined, then gently fold in the diced apples.

Scoop portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly flatten them.

Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden and cooked through.

Whisk the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the warm fritters and let set for a few minutes before serving.

Warm, cinnamon-spiced, and loaded with apples, these fritters are especially delicious with coffee or tea.
