👩‍🍳 How to Whip Up Your Own Baked Apple Fritters

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: Whisk those flours, sugar, and spices together like you’re casting a delicious spell. 🧙‍♀️

  2. Cut in the Butter: This isn’t the time to get your hands dirty – use a pastry cutter or two forks to work that cold butter in. 🥄

  3. Add the Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk, egg, and vanilla, but don’t go crazy! Overmixing is the enemy of tender fritters. 🚫

  4. Fold in the Apples: Gently does it, now. You want chunks of apple in every bite! 🍏

  5. Scoop and Bake: Drop spoonfuls onto your baking sheet and let the oven work its magic. ✨

  6. Glaze and Broil: This is the secret to that crunchy, caramelized exterior. It’s like fried, but better! 🔥

🎨 Pro Tips from Your Fritter Fairy Godmother

  • Use tart, firm apples for the best flavor (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are my go-to) 🍏

  • Don’t flatten the batter on the baking sheet – they’ll spread just right on their own 🧁

  • For a maple twist, swap the vanilla in the glaze for maple extract 🍁

  • Let them cool a bit before diving in (I know it’s hard, but your taste buds will thank you!) 😋

📦 Storing Your Apple Fritter Perfection
Who are we kidding? These won’t last long enough to store! 😄 But if you happen to have superhuman willpower:

  • They’re best eaten the same day (twist my arm, why don’t you?) 🙃

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature 🥡
