Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until everything is well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't overmix!
  5. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  6. Using a spoon, drop tablespoon-sized portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fritters turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving warm.

Notes

These fritters are best enjoyed warm. You can serve them as is, or pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
