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 aid in even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until fully combined to ensure even distribution of leavening and spices.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the large egg with the whole milk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy, which helps create a tender batter.
  4. Form Batter: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the fritter bites light and fluffy.
  5. Add Apples: Gently fold in the finely chopped Granny Smith apple pieces to evenly distribute them throughout the batter without breaking them down.
  6. Portion Batter: Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for spreading and proper heat circulation.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the fritter bites are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce for added sweetness.

Notes

  • For best results, use Granny Smith apples as their tartness balances the sweet batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense fritter bites.
  • You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative if preferred.
  • Allow the fritter bites to cool slightly before serving to enjoy optimal texture.
  • These bites can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven.
