Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, stirring well.
  • Add the butter with a pastry blender, two forks, or your hands until coarse crumbs form about the size of peas.
  • Gently stir in the apples.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt and egg.
  • Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture and mix to combine.
  • Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the batter forms a ball when stirred.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon of batter on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
  • Remove the fritters from the oven, and allow to cool for two minutes.
  • Transfer the fritters to a cooling rack with a layer of parchment paper under it.*
  • In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, apple cider, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. (The glaze should be thick.)
  • Spoon the glaze over each fritter and let it drip down the sides.
  • Eat at once. (Very messy- but worth it!)
