Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. (If your mat isn’t broiler-safe, don’t worry – you can skip it, though the pan might get a bit messier.)

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

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped apple.

4. Form the Fritters:
Drop the batter by 1/4 cup portions onto the prepared baking sheet. (For smaller fritters, use a heaping tablespoon instead.)

5. Bake the Fritters:
Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and the centers are set. (For smaller fritters, start checking around 8 minutes.) Once baked, remove the fritters to a wire rack and turn your oven to broil.

6. Make the Glaze:
While the oven is heating up, whisk together the confectioner’s sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Brush a thin layer of glaze over the fritters.

7. Broil for Extra Goodness:
Place the fritters back in the oven under the broiler for 2-4 minutes, just until the tops start to turn golden and the glaze begins to bubble. Keep a close eye on them – they can brown quickly!

8. Finish with More Glaze:
Carefully remove the fritters from the oven and brush them with the remaining glaze. Let the glaze harden slightly before serving.

These fritters are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, so dig in while they’re warm!

These apple fritters are packed with warm spices, a hint of sweetness, and a delightful crunch from the glaze. Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or any time you’re craving a cozy treat!
