🍏 Why Baked Instead of Fried?

Traditional apple fritters are deep-fried (and delicious, don’t get us wrong), but baking them gives you all the same flavor with:

• Less mess

• Less oil

• Less guilt 😉

• And honestly, just as much deliciousness!

They still come out golden, soft on the inside, slightly crisp on the edges, and bursting with cinnamon-apple goodness.

👩‍🍳 How They Come Together

Making these couldn’t be easier. You’ll fold diced apples into a spiced batter, scoop them onto a baking sheet like drop cookies, and bake until they’re puffed and golden. Once they cool slightly, drizzle (or dunk!) them in a simple glaze — and prepare to be very popular in your household.

• A cozy blanket and a quiet fall morning
