💡 4 Tips for Perfect Apple Fritters
1. 🍎 Use crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best flavor and texture.
2. 🔹️ Don’t overmix the batter — it keeps the fritters light and fluffy.
3. 🔹️ Let them cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
4. ✅ Add a dash of lemon juice to your apples before folding them in to keep them bright and fresh.
