Ingredients
– 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon allspice
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chopped tart apple
– 1 cup confectionerβs sugar for the glaze
– 2 tablespoons milk for the glaze
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for the glaze
Instructions
1-Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or use the pan directly.
2-Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in the 6 tablespoons of cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3-Mix wet ingredients: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup milk, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
4-Fold in apple: Gently fold in the 1 cup chopped tart apple. If the batter is too thin due to juicy apples, add 2-4 tablespoons more flour to help it hold its shape.
5-Drop batter: Drop the batter by 1/4 cup onto the baking sheet for large fritters or by heaping tablespoon for mini fritters. Do not flatten the batter.
6-Bake: Bake for 11-13 minutes for large fritters or start checking at 8 minutes for mini fritters until the bottoms are golden and the centers are set.
7-Remove from oven: Remove the fritters from the baking sheet to a wire rack and set the oven to broil.
8-Prepare glaze: Prepare the glaze by whisking together the 1 cup confectionerβs sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
9-Glaze and broil: Brush the fritters with a thin layer of glaze, then place them under the broiler for 2-4 minutes until the tops are golden and the glaze bubbles.
10-Finish glaze: Remove from the oven and brush the remaining glaze on the warm fritters.
11-Let glaze harden: Let the glaze harden before serving. The fritters are best enjoyed the same day.
