Baked Apple Fritters with Maple Glaze

A sweet, delicious, bite-of-apple treat made in the oven.
Prep Time 30 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup softened butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large or 2 smaller apples
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

For the Sugar Glaze

  • 1 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1.5 to 5 tablespoons of milk or cream

For the Maple Glaze

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup icing sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease the mini muffin tins.
  3. Chop apples into small chunks. Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon then set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar together till creamy.
  5. Add eggs and beat on low till combined.
  6. Add vanilla and stir.
  7. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt.
  8. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  9. Add apple mixture to the batter and stir.
  10. Spoon the batter into the prepared pans. Make sure you have apple chunks in every one.
  11. Bake for about 15 min.
  12. Meanwhile, prepare the sugar glaze by mixing the icing sugar and milk. You want a thin consistency.
  13. Next prepare the maple glaze – this one should be thicker. If it doesn’t pour like a ribbon from the spoon, add milk to thin slightly.
  14. Once the fritters are baked, remove them from the muffin tins and coat with the thin glaze. You want them to be fully coated but not saturated. I suggest setting them on a cooling rack with parchment paper or a tray underneath to allow the excess glaze to run drip off.
  15. Here comes the fun part. Turn on the broiler. Place the muffins on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and pop them into the oven.
  16. Once the sugar from the glaze starts to turn a golden brown, flip them so they get a caramel coloured crust on all sides.
  17. Once they’re all crusty and delicious, take them out and coat them in the maple glaze.
  18. Let cool on a wire rack and enjoy within a day or two.
