Baked Apple Fritters 🍏✨


4. Make the Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Adjust the milk to achieve your desired consistency (thicker for drizzling, thinner for dipping).
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled fritters.

5. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  2. Pair with a hot cup of coffee, tea, or cider for a cozy treat.

Serving Suggestions

  • Dust with extra powdered sugar for a simple, elegant finish.
  • Serve with a side of caramel sauce or whipped cream for an indulgent twist.
  • Add a sprinkle of toasted nuts or a dash of cinnamon on top for extra flair.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Don’t Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to dense fritters. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use Fresh Apples: Fresh, crisp apples provide the best texture and flavor. Avoid pre-packaged diced apples, which may be too soft.
  • Make Mini Fritters: Use a mini muffin tin for bite-sized treats—perfect for parties or snacks.
  • Freeze for Later: Store cooled, unglazed fritters in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven or microwave before glazing.
