Description

These Irresistible Apple Fritter Bites are a deliciously easy treat perfect for breakfast or snacks. Made with tender chunks of Granny Smith apple and warm cinnamon spices, these bite-sized fritters are baked until golden brown, offering a healthier alternative to fried fritters without sacrificing flavor.


Ingredients

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 and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined, ensuring even distribution of leavening and spices.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg with milk until smooth to create a uniform liquid mixture ready for incorporating into the dry ingredients.
  4. Form batter: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the fritters tender.
  5. Add apples: Fold in the finely chopped Granny Smith apple pieces carefully, distributing them evenly throughout the batter for consistent apple flavor in every bite.
  6. Shape fritter bites: Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fritter bites turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  8. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm, optionally dusting with powdered sugar or pairing with your favorite dipping sauce for extra sweetness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for their tart flavor which balances the sweetness of the fritters.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract.
  • These bites can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently before serving.
  • Optional toppings include powdered sugar, maple syrup, or a cinnamon glaze.
