Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment.

2. In a large bowl, whisk flours, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.

3. Cut in butter with hands or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla. Add to flour mix and stir just until combined.

5. Fold in chopped apples gently.

6. Scoop batter in 1/4-cup portions onto the baking sheet. For minis, use heaping tablespoons.

7. Bake for 11–13 minutes (8–10 for minis), until bottoms are golden and centers set.

8. While baking, set oven to broil. Mix glaze ingredients until smooth.

9. Brush fritters with glaze, broil for 2–4 minutes until glaze bubbles and tops are golden.

10. Remove and brush again with remaining glaze.

11. Let glaze set before serving. Best served same day.

Notes

Avoid overmixing to keep fritters soft.

Use tart apples for flavor contrast and texture.

Add extra flour if batter is too runny (2–4 tbsp).

Don’t flatten batter — it spreads naturally in the oven.

Pairs well with coffee, cider, or ice cream.
