Baked Apple Fritters

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. (Make sure that the mat you are using can be used under a broiler. If not, these fritters will work without a mat. The pan will just be a littler dirtier.)

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Add to flour mixture and stir until just combined. Gently stir in chopped apple. ****

Step 4

Drop by 1/4 Cup-full onto prepared baking sheet. (If you want to make small fritters, use a heaping tablespoon-full.)

Step 5

Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until bottoms are golden brown and center is set. (If you are making small fritters, start checking for doneness at 8 minutes.) Remove to a wire rack and turn oven to broil.

Step 6

After turning oven to broil, prepare glaze. Whisk together confectioner's sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Brush a thin layer of glaze over fritters. Place under broiler. Broil for 2-4 minutes, or until tops start to turn golden and the glaze bubbles.

Step 7

Carefully remove baking sheet to a wire rack. Brush remaining glaze over the warm fritters.

Step 8

Allow glaze to harden and serve.

Step 9
