Ingredients

Scale

2 cups apples, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup rolled oats (optional)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil

Oil spray or parchment for the baking sheet

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy release.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats (if using), sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. This is your dry foundation.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the melted butter or oil.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. The batter should be thick but scoopable; if it’s too stiff, add a splash more milk.

Fold in the diced apples, making sure they’re evenly coated with batter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes if you notice the apples releasing a lot of moisture.

Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared sheet, about 1.5 tablespoons per fritter. Gently press to flatten into discs about 1/2 inch thick.

Bake 12–15 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are set. Flip and bake 4–6 minutes more for even browning.

Remove from the oven and cool briefly on the sheet. If you like, brush with a little maple glaze or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
