Apple Fritters

Apple Fritters combine chunks of tart apples baked into a cinnamon-spiced batter, fried until deep golden brown, and finished with a lemon-scented glaze. The fritters feature a contrast of tender, sweet-tart apple pieces within a slightly crisp fried dough. The glaze adds a smooth, bright-sweet topping that complements the warm spices and rich fried texture.
