Ingredients

• 2 medium Apples
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Confectioners' sugar
• 0 as needed Olive oil spray
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. Place them in a bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the egg and add the low-fat milk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 7

Use a spoon to drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, making 8 portions. Flatten each portion slightly to ensure even baking.

Step 8

Lightly spray the tops of the fritters with olive oil spray.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

While the fritters are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the confectioners' sugar with the maple syrup until smooth. You can adjust the consistency with a little water if needed.

Step 11

Remove the fritters from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 12

Drizzle the maple glaze over the warm apple fritters and serve. Enjoy your low-fat treat!
