Baking Tips
For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the batter.
Use a mix of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, for a balanced flavor.
To make the fritters extra crispy, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
For a fun twist, try adding a handful of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the batter.
