Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º. Lightly coat the cups of a mini muffin pan or a donut hole pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together until fluffy. Beat in the egg followed by the vanilla. Add the yogurt and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir with a whisk. Add to the butter yogurt mixture and gently fold with a rubber spatula until the batter comes together. Gently fold in the apples.
- Fill the cups of the prepared pan with about 1 tablespoon of batter. (There will be extra batter. Use a second pan if you have one or refrigerate the batter until the first set of fritters has finished baking. Repeat with the remaining batter once the pan has cooled completely.)
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the fritters from the oven.
- Allow to cool, and sprinkle confectioners’ sugar if desired.
