Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 cup chopped Honeycrisp apple
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender (or fork) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl or cup, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir into flour mixture just until combined. Fold in chopped apples.
4. Shape Fritters: Drop 1/4-cup scoops of batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake: Bake 11–12 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack.
6. Glaze & Broil: Preheat broiler. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Brush fritters with glaze and broil for about 2 minutes, until glaze is bubbly.
7. Cool & Serve: Let fritters cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
