Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups diced Granny Smith apples
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Preparation:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Gently fold in the diced apples and brown sugar, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each pastry for even cooking.
7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
