Steps
Peel the apple and grate it finely using a box grater. Squeeze out a little excess moisture if the apple is very juicy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated apple, milk, flour, oil, cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir until a thick batter forms.
Heat a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Drop small spoonfuls of the batter into the pan, flattening them slightly to make mini pancakes.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Let them cool completely before serving to your baby.
Frequently asked questions
Can I freeze these apple fritters?
Yes! Let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat gently in a toaster or warm oven.
What type of apples work best?
Sweet, crisp varieties like Gala, Honeycrisp, or Fuji are great because they provide plenty of natural flavor without needing added sweeteners.
