Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Large apples | 2 |
| All-purpose flour | 1 1/2 cups |
| Granulated sugar | 1/4 cup |
| Brown sugar | 1/4 cup |
| Baking powder | 2 teaspoons |
| Ground cinnamon | 1 1/2 teaspoons |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Milk | 2/3 cup |
| Eggs, lightly beaten | 2 |
| Unsalted butter, melted | 2 tablespoons |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Powdered sugar (optional) | For dusting |
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet and set it aside.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, lightly beaten eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Add Diced Apples: Fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Drop 1/4 cup (or less for smaller fritters) of batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is enough space between each fritter.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fritters are golden brown and the center is set.
- Cool Fritters: Allow the fritters to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Optional Dusting: If desired, dust the cooled fritters with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
