🍩 Pro Tips for the Best Apple Fritters
✔ Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture. 🍏
✔ Don’t overmix the batter—a few lumps are fine! Overmixing can make the fritters dense.
✔ Fry in batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature.
✔ Glaze while warm for the best flavor and sticky-sweet finish.
✨ Enjoy!
