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 ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until combined evenly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the large egg with the whole milk until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Create Batter: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring gently, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing and ensure a tender texture.
  5. Fold in Apples: Gently fold in the finely chopped Granny Smith apple pieces, distributing them evenly through the batter without crushing them.
  6. Portion Batter: Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Serve: Allow to cool slightly and serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or paired with your favorite dipping sauce for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle with honey or maple syrup instead of powdered sugar.
  • Ensure chopping apples finely to help integrate them well in the batter.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and facilitate cleanup.
  • Do not overmix batter to keep apple fritter bites light and fluffy.
  • These bites can be reheated in the oven or toaster oven to retain crispness.
