Baked Apple Fritters

⅓ cup softened butter

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla

½ cup milk

1 ½ cups flour

½ cup sugar

2 tsp baking powder

pinch salt

1large Ontario apple (or 2 smaller apples)

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

subheading: Sugar Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

1 ½ to 5 tbsp milk or cream

subheading: Honey Glaze:

2 tbsp honey

1 cup icing sugar

Before you begin: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the mini muffin

tins.

Chop apples into small chunks. Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon

then set aside.

In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar together till creamy.

Add eggs and beat on low till combined. Add vanilla and stir.

In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Pour the dry

ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon

until just combined. Add apple mixture to the batter and stir.

Spoon batter into the prepared pans. Make sure you have apple

chunks in every one. Bake for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the sugar glaze by mixing the icing sugar and

milk. You want a thin consistency.

Next prepare the honey glaze - this one should be thicker. If it

doesn’t pour like a ribbon from the spoon, add milk to thin slightly

Once the fritters are baked, remove them from the muffin tins and

coat with the thin sugar glaze. You want them to be fully coated but

not saturated. I suggest setting them on a cooling rack with

parchment paper or a tray underneath to allow the excess glaze to

drip off.

Here comes the fun part. Turn on the broiler. Place the muffins on a

baking tray lined with parchment paper and pop them into the oven.

Once the sugar from the glaze starts to turn a golden brown, flip

them so they get a caramel coloured crust on all sides. Once they’re

all crusty and delicious, take them out and coat them in the honey glaze
