Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2/3 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter
• 2 cups diced tart apples
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp milk for glaze
• as needed cooking spray

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper, then mist lightly with cooking spray.
2. 2In a large bowl whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
3. 3In a measuring cup stir together the whole milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter, then pour into the dry ingredients and mix just until a thick batter forms.
4. 4Fold the diced apples into the batter so every piece is coated; the mixture should be scoopable and studded with fruit.
5. 5Using a 1/4-cup measure, drop 8 mounds of batter onto the prepared sheet pan, spacing them 2 inches apart so they can spread.
6. 6Bake 14 to 17 minutes until the fritters are puffed, golden at the edges, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. 7While the fritters bake, whisk the powdered sugar with the glaze milk until smooth and pourable; add a drop more milk if needed.
8. 8Remove the sheet pan and let the fritters cool 5 minutes so the exteriors firm slightly.
9. 9Drizzle or brush the warm fritters generously with the cinnamon-kissed glaze so it sets into a thin crackly shell.
10. 10Serve immediately while still warm and crisp on the outside with soft apple centers.
