These Apple Fritter Bites are truly a life-changing autumn treat that I just had to share with you today. They boast true apple flavor packed into doughnut-like fritters that are light as air and covered with the most delectable apple cider glaze.
You might feel a bit better about going back for seconds—or thirds—because they are baked rather than fried!
I first sampled these little morsels of perfection when Baker Mama’s clever friend Courtney sent me a copy of her new cookbook, Brilliant Bites.
I had to make them as soon as I saw the recipe title.
Can you come up with an autumn snack that’s better than this? Crisp cider glaze over warm, doughy apple fritters that pop? Indeed, you can!
These, let me just say, are every bit as good as apple fritters could possibly be.
Soft pieces of fresh apple abound in these very moist treats.
The glaze is sweet and sour, giving you that distinctive crackly crust that’s just too good.
And the best part? You can feel good about nibbling on a couple since they’re baked rather than fried. If you’re anything like me, you might just devour the whole batch!
