These apple fritters are the perfect soft-textured fritters for babies. They are naturally sweetened with apples and are made with only five simple ingredients, perfect for a quick morning breakfast or snack!

I promise it doesn’t get easier than these apple fritters. These fritters contain no added sugar but are still perfectly sweet from the grated apples. Everything comes together in one bowl and in minutes you’ll have them ready to serve!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Here’s what you’ll need to make these apple fritters for babies:

• Apple: The star ingredient for these fritters. I highly suggest using a Honeycrisp apple for these fritters since they are crisp and naturally sweet, but you can use any sweet apple you have on hand. Fuji apples are my second favorite option next to Honeycrisp!
• Flour: I used all-purpose flour in this recipe, but you may replace it with a different type of flour.
• Egg: Used as a binder to help hold the fritters together.
• Baking Powder: Used to allow the fritters to rise.
• Cinnamon: Provides an extra warm spice and subtle sweetness.

PROCESS

1. Preheat a frying pan over medium heat.
2. Grate the apple using the largest hole of a grater. You will want to have about 1/2 cup of grated apples.
3. Add the grated apples to a bowl along with the egg, flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. Mix until combined.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of butter/oil to the preheated pan. Add one tablespoon of the apple mixture to the pan and press down lightly to form a mini fritter shape.
5. Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden on both sides.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Let the fritters completely cool and store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. To freeze, store in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag for up to 3 months. You may reheat on low heat in a pan or simply microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until warmed through!

SUBSTITUTIONS

• Egg: For an egg-free version, omit the egg and add in 2 extra tablespoons of flour, 2 tbsp milk, and 1 tbsp oil.
• All-purpose flour: You may replace the all-purpose flour with oat flour or whole wheat flour. 

RECIPE NOTES

• Honeycrisp apples are naturally crisp and sweet and perfect for this recipe. Fuji apples are a close second, but any sweet apple variety will work.
• This recipe makes 8-9 mini fritters. Double up the ingredients if you plan to store some for a later time.
