👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. ⏲️🔥
- Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. 🌾🧂🌪️
- Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. 🥚🥛🧈
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Fold in those juicy diced apples! 🍏🤝🥄
- Pro Tip: Don’t overmix! You want the batter thick and lumpy for the best texture. 💪
- Scoop: Drop large spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon. 🥄📏
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. ⏲️🥨✨
- Glaze: While the fritters are warm, whisk your glaze ingredients together. Dip the tops of the fritters into the glaze or drizzle it generously over them! ☁️🌪️🤤
- Serve: Let them set for 5 minutes so the glaze hardens slightly, and enjoy! 🍽️😋
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The Apple Choice: Granny Smith apples are the best because their tartness balances the sweet glaze perfectly! 🍏💎
- The “Bakery” Look: For extra crunch, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top of the fritters right before they go into the oven. ✨🥨🎯
