Main Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ½ cup whole milk

Instructions
Cooking
- Heat and line. Set the oven to 375 degrees F, line a sheet with parchment, and dice the apples small.
- Make batter. Whisk the dry ingredients, then stir in the milk, egg, vanilla, and butter until just combined.
- Scoop. Fold in the apples and scoop eight mounds onto the sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake. Bake 18 to 20 minutes until golden at the edges and set in the center.
- Glaze. Cool for 15 minutes, then drizzle with powdered sugar whisked with milk.
Notes
Substitutions: Use almond milk for dairy milk, or any firm baking apple for the diced apples.
Tips: Dice the apples small and pat them dry so the batter does not turn watery.
Storage: Keep covered at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate up to 3 days, then reheat in an oven set to 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.
