Love the taste of apple fritters but don't want the calories or hassle that comes with frying them? Then these FAST and EASY baked apple fritters made with just four main ingredients are PERFECT!!

Ingredients
- one 8-count tube refrigerated biscuit dough
- 21- ounce jar apple pie filling
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon or apple pie spice optional and to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 24 unwrapped square caramel candies
- 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream or caramel sauce may be substituted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat liner for easier cleanup; set aside.
- Open the biscuit dough, separate dough discs, dice each disc into about 10 pieces, and place in a large bowl; set aside.
- Open the apple pie filling, fish out the large apple chunks with a fork or your fingers, place them on a cutting board, dice the large apples into smaller bite-sized pieces, and add them to the bowl with the diced dough.
- Add the remaining apple pie filling sauce, optionally add cinnamon or apple pie spice, and stir to combine.
- Spoon heaping 1/4 cup-fulls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, then evenly distribute and spoon a bit of the melted butter over each mound of batter.
- Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden browned and the dough is set and cooked through; set aside to cool.
- To a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the caramels, cream, and heat in 30-second bursts until the caramels have melted and can be stirred smooth.
- Evenly drizzle the caramel sauce over the apple fritters. Alternatively, store bought or homemade caramel sauce or salted caramel sauce* may be used instead.
- Apple fritters are best warm and fresh.
Notes
- Yield: I made 12 apple fritters but depending on if you want them larger, you can reduce the yield to 8 or 10 rather than 12.
- Caramel sauce: I like to use Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce or try Trader Joe's Salted Caramel Sauce. Use a thick sauce rather than a thinner ice cream sundae type of sauce.
