Here’s how they compare and what makes them special:
🍎 Apple Fritter
Type: Fried dough (a type of donut)
Texture: Crispy and golden on the outside, soft and slightly chewy inside
Flavor: Sweet, cinnamon-spiced dough packed with chunks of tender apple and often glazed with vanilla icing
How it’s made:
-
Batter: A quick dough made from flour, eggs, sugar, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, and chopped apples.
-
Forming: Spoonfuls of the apple-studded dough are dropped into hot oil — no rolling or yeast required (though some recipes use a yeasted dough for a fluffier result).
-
Frying: Each fritter is fried until deep golden brown.
-
Glaze: Once slightly cooled, fritters are dunked in a simple glaze made from powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.
Vibe: Crispy, sticky, and bursting with apple flavor — like a cross between a donut and warm apple pie. Perfect for fall mornings or alongside coffee.
