Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Fritters:

  • 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/3 cup applesauce
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup peeled and diced Granny Smith apples

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together Bisquick, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
  • Add applesauce, milk, and egg. Stir to combine into a batter.
  • Add diced apples and stir to incorporate.
  • Scoop batter out into 12 rounds, placing each on the prepared baking sheet (I used a large cookie scoop for this). Transfer to preheated oven and bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden-brown and cooked through.
  • While the fritters are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk.
  • Remove fritters from oven and turn on the broiler.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush a coating of glaze onto the tops of the warm fritters. Return the pan to the oven and broil for about a minute, which will cause the glaze to bubble up. Keep a close eye on them so they don't burn!
  • Remove pan from oven and let cool for a minute or two, then brush the tops of the fritters with the rest of the glaze. The glaze will harden to a satiny finish as the fritters cool.
  • Serve warm or allow to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The process of double-glazing the fritters helps to give the exterior a more classic "fried" fritter texture. 
  • Leftover fritters can be covered and stored at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
  • I recommend dicing your apples pretty small. Since these aren't in the oven that long, larger chunks will not have as much time to soften up.
