These Baked Apple Fritter Bites take everything you love about the classic fairground treat—that warm spice, the tender apple filling, and the unmistakable, sugary glaze—and transform it into a simple, oven-ready snack. They are perfect for a weekend brunch or easy dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup finely diced apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted

3 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to four hundred Fahrenheit. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin well.

2. Whisk together all dry ingredients for the bites (flour, sugar, baking powder, etc.) in a large bowl.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla).

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir gently until just combined. Fold in the diced apples carefully. Do not overmix.

5. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup three-quarters full. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.

6. Let the bites cool in the pan for five minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.

7. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze until smooth.

8. Dip the tops of the still-warm bites into the glaze, or drizzle over the top. Allow the glaze to set for ten minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to ensure a light, fluffy texture.

Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend as a substitution if needed.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
