Ingredients

How to make apple fritter bites
Step 1
Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
Step 2
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the apples.
Step 4
Divide the batter among the mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 5
Bake 15 to 18 minutes until golden and a tester comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes, then move to a rack.
Step 6
Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over warm fritter bites and let the glaze set.

Storage and reheating
Cool leftovers promptly and refrigerate them in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, and use normal food-safety guidance for meat, seafood, dairy, and egg dishes. For recipes where crispness matters, use an oven, toaster oven, skillet, or air fryer rather than relying only on a microwave.
