Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup all-purpose flour: This forms the base of your fritter batter.
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar: Adds sweetness to the fritters.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder: Helps the fritters rise and become fluffy.
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon: Enhances the warm, spicy flavor.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances overall flavor.
- 1 large egg: Binds the ingredients together and adds richness.

- Additional ground cinnamon (optional): For an extra sprinkle of flavor on top.
Instructions
- Prepare the apples by peeling and dicing them into small chunks.
- Make the batter by mixing the dry ingredients in one bowl and whisking the wet ingredients in another.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined, then fold in the diced apples.
