Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy.
Step 5
Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Drop ¼ cup of batter per fritter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the centers are set.
Step 8
Let the fritters cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Step 9
Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Pro Tips:
Even Baking: Space fritters evenly on the baking sheet for uniform cooking.
Avoid Overmixing: Gently fold the batter to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
Check for Doneness: Use a toothpick to ensure the center is set before removing from the oven.
Cool Properly: Allow fritters to cool on a rack to prevent sogginess.
Flavor Variations: Experiment with different spices like cardamom or cloves for unique flavors.
