Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Fritters:
    • 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 butter (cold, cut into pieces)
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 1 egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup chopped apple
  • For the Glaze:
    • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.
  • Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  • Fold in the chopped apples.
  • Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through.
  • While the fritters are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together confectioner’s sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • Once baked, drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute whole wheat flour entirely if desired.
  • Best served warm for a fresh, crisp texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
