🍯 Glaze & Serve
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze the fritters: Once fritters are slightly cooled, dip the tops into the glaze or drizzle over them with a spoon.
- Let set: Place glazed fritters on a wire rack and let the glaze firm up before serving.
💡 Tips & Variations
- Apple choices: Use firm apples like Granny Smith for tartness or Honeycrisp for a sweeter bite.
- Add-ins: Stir in ¼ cup chopped walnuts or raisins for extra texture.
- Mini fritters: Use a tablespoon-sized scoop for bite-sized versions—reduce bake time to 10–12 minutes.
- Storage: Best eaten fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 days. Reheat slightly before serving.
