Baked Apple Fritters

These homemade baked apple fritters offer all the cozy flavors of the classic treat without the hassle of deep-frying. Made with a perfect blend of flours, fresh chopped apples, and warm autumn spices, these tender pastries develop a golden-brown crust under the broiler.
A sweet vanilla glaze adds the perfect finishing touch, making them an irresistible breakfast or afternoon snack that's slightly healthier than their fried counterparts.
