Step 1: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your fritters bake evenly and develop that irresistible golden color.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until all the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 3: Gradually add the melted butter and milk to the dry mixture, stirring gently until a sticky dough forms.
Step 4: Gently fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 5: Scoop spoonfuls of the dough onto a greased baking sheet, leaving enough space between each fritter for them to expand as they bake.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7: Remove from the oven and let the fritters cool for a few minutes before dusting them with powdered sugar.
Variation: Adding a Touch of Indulgence
