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

Fruit

  • 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 for easy cleanup.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until thoroughly combined and evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the large egg with the whole milk until smooth and fully blended to create a uniform wet mixture.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined, ensuring not to overmix for a tender texture.
  5. Fold in Apples: Carefully fold the finely chopped Granny Smith apple pieces into the batter, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed without breaking them up.
  6. Portion Batter: Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow room for spreading during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the fritter bites in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Serve Warm: Remove from oven and serve warm. Optionally dust with powdered sugar or enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce for added sweetness.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the batter as this can lead to dense fritter bites.
  • Use Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast, but you can substitute with other firm apple varieties.
  • Adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract can enhance the flavor.
  • For a crispier texture, lightly spray the baking sheet with cooking spray in addition to using parchment paper.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture; leftovers can be reheated gently.
