Ingredients

Scale

For the Fritters:

  • ¾ Cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ Cup white whole wheat flour**
  • ½ Cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 Tablespoons butter, cold and cut into pieces
  • ½ Cup milk (the higher the fat content, the richer the flavor)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Cup chopped apple***

For the Glaze:

  • 1 Cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons milk (a higher percentage of fat works the best)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. (Ensure the mat can be used under a broiler. If not, fritters can be baked directly on the pan, though it may get dirtier.)
  • 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.
  • 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.****
  • Drop by ¼ Cup-full onto the prepared baking sheet. (For small fritters, use a heaping tablespoon-full.)
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until bottoms are golden brown and the center is set. (For small fritters, check for doneness at 8 minutes.) Remove to a wire rack and turn the oven to broil.
  • While the oven preheats to broil, prepare the glaze. Whisk together confectioner’s sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Brush a thin layer of glaze over fritters.
  • Place under broiler and broil for 2-4 minutes, or until tops turn golden and the glaze bubbles.
  • Carefully remove the baking sheet to a wire rack. Brush remaining glaze over the warm fritters.
  • Allow glaze to harden and serve.
  • Best eaten the same day.

Notes

  • Don’t have white whole wheat flour? You can substitute all-purpose flour for the amount of white whole wheat flour.
  • Tart apples give the fritters the best flavor.
  • If some apples are extra juicy, the batter may seem too thin. If that happens, add an additional 2-4 Tablespoons of flour. Batter should hold its shape when dropped on the baking sheet.
