Our Best Apple Fritter Recipes

These tender, sweet fritters deliver full-on fall flavor, and couldn't be easier to make. Just be sure you're starting with clean, fresh oil for frying so that the fritters don't pick up any stale flavors, and use a candy thermometer to closely monitor your oil temperature. Going lower than 360 degrees will leave you with greasy fritters, but go over 370 degrees, and you run the risk of over-browning or burning. Finish the fritters off with a sweet creamy glaze and serve with coffee for a delightful autumn treat.

Sweet fritters are contrasted with a tangy lemon sauce in this unique recipe, which is perfect for when both apples and citrus are in season. 

Filled with a spiced apple compote, dipped in a vanilla glaze, and topped with a homemade caramel sauce, these over-the-top fritters take a bit of time to prepare but are well worth the wait.

Skip the oil, and the added fat, with these handy baked apple fritters. By using a cupcake pan, you can recreate all the taste you love with none of the hassle.

Eat these apple fritters hot with all the powdered sugar you can stand.
