  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups diced apples

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare the batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Add Apples: Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they’re well distributed.
  6. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  7. Scoop the Batter: Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  8. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Dress them up with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
  10. What to Serve Warm Baked Apple Fritters With
  11. To make the most out of your Warm Baked Apple Fritters, consider serving them with a side of warm maple syrup for dipping, a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream, or even a fresh fruit salad that can balance the flavors perfectly. For a delightful drink pairing, a cup of warm apple cider or a glass of freshly squeezed lemonade can complement the warm spices beautifully.
  12. Top Tips for Perfecting Warm Baked Apple Fritters
  13. Apple Selection: Choose a variety of apples that hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for a perfect texture.
  14. Don’t Overmix: Be careful not to overmix the batter; it should be lumpy but combined, which will yield a fluffier fritter.
  15. Adjust Spices: Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste; a pinch of ginger or allspice can add intriguing notes.
  16. Storing and Reheating Tips
  17. If you have leftovers (which is unlikely!), you can store your Warm Baked Apple Fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes to refresh them, or enjoy them cold for a quick snack. For longer storage, you can freeze them on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven for the best results.
