Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the diced apples gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 5: Bake the Fritters
Drop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping slightly if needed. Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.

Apple Walnut Fritters: Fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
Maple Glaze Version: Replace milk in the glaze with maple syrup.
