6. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small fritters. Leave space between each fritter to allow for spreading.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through.
8. While the fritters are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
9. Once the fritters are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
10. Dip each fritter into the glaze, ensuring they are fully coated. Place them back on the baking sheet to allow the glaze to set.
Variations
There are endless ways to customize your baked apple fritters. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
