Enjoy all the flavors of classic apple fritters with this healthier, no-fry baked version! These Baked Apple Fritters are soft, fluffy, and packed with warm cinnamon apples. Drizzled with a sweet glaze, they make the perfect breakfast, snack, or dessert without the mess of frying.

Ingredients

For the Fritters:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk
  • ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Make the Batter: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in the diced apples.
  5. Shape & Bake: Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each fritter. Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: While fritters bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  7. Glaze & Serve: Let the fritters cool slightly before drizzling with glaze. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a great flavor balance.
  • Don’t overmix the batter—stir just until combined.
  • Let fritters cool slightly before glazing to prevent melting.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for the best texture.
