Step 7: Cool & Top
Let the fritters cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Dust generously with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey/maple syrup. Optionally, toss them in cinnamon-sugar for added crunch.
Tips for Success
Choose Firm Apples : Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples hold up best during baking and add tartness to balance the sweetness.
Don’t Overfill : Space the fritters evenly on the baking sheet to avoid sticking and ensure proper air circulation.
Adjust Sweetness : If you prefer less sweet treats, reduce the granulated sugar or omit it entirely for a more savory version.
Make It Vegan : Swap eggs for flaxseed “eggs” (1 tbsp ground flax + 2.5 tbsp water per egg) and use plant-based milk and butter alternatives.
