Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg

Main Ingredient

  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until fully combined and aerated.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg with whole milk until smooth and fully blended for a consistent texture.
  4. Form Batter: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing that can toughen the batter.
  5. Add Apples: Gently fold in the finely chopped Granny Smith apple pieces until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Portion Batter: Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow room for spreading and even cooking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fritter bites are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Serve: Serve the apple fritter bites warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce for added sweetness.

Notes

  • You can substitute Granny Smith apples with other tart apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji for a different flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk instead of whole milk.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
  • These bites can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated before serving.
  • Adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract can enhance the flavor.
