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 and Prepare: 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 flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined to ensure even distribution of leavening and spices.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk until smooth and well blended, creating a uniform wet mixture.
  4. Form Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the fritters.
  5. Add Apples: Carefully fold in the finely chopped Granny Smith apple pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for consistent flavor and texture.
  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 15-20 minutes until the fritter bites are golden brown on the edges and cooked through. They should spring back lightly when pressed.
  8. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or serve with your favorite dipping sauce for added sweetness.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast that complements the sweet batter perfectly.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
  • Allow baked bites to cool slightly before handling to avoid crumbling.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with a plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
