Apple Fritters. OMG Apple Fritters. Just the thought of them elicits a mouth-watering frenzy. Is it crisp and yeasty? Is it craggy? Is it appley and cinnamony? Sweet but not TOO sweet? In this time of social distancing where does one get such perfection? We hope you can get one curbside from your favorite local donut shop, but if not take this homemade apple fritter recipe for a spin. Yes, apple fritters are fried (why do you think they taste so good?), but if you're a little timid around boiling hot oil, we'll show you how to bake them too for more of a danish texture.

FOR THE FRITTER,
This batch size MAKES 6 LARGE fritters- If you want to bake instead of fry , I recommend proofing for 40 minutes after shaping and baking with egg wash at 425 for 15 -18 minutes depending on the desired color. Glaze as you would donut. It's very tasty almost like coffee cake or a danish.
