Baked Apple Fritters are a quick and easy way to enjoy an Apple Fritter without any deep-frying or oil! They pack the same delicious fritter flavor without the mess. For a more traditional recipe for fritters, try my Fresh Blueberry Fritter recipe.
Baked Apple Fritters
These Baked Apple Fritters are so easy to make and so delicious, you really won’t miss the fried dough and splattering oil! These fritters will still give you that apple flavor in every bite. Plus, they are drizzled with the homemade glaze I use for my other fritter recipes. These are a bit crisper than a fried fritter but just as flavorful.
Fritter Ingredients
Biscuits: Look for the flaky layer refrigerated biscuits for this recipe!
Apples: I chose to use Granny Smith apples for this recipe, but I will give some additional substitutions below!
Glaze: The glaze for this recipe is just a simple vanilla glaze but it is so delicious paired with these fritters.
What Kinds of Apples are Best?
I prefer to use Granny Smith apples in this recipe (as well as my original Apple Fritters recipe) as they hold up beautifully when baked or fried. We did try Honeycrisp apples and liked it, but when we tried Red Delicious apples, it wasn’t our favorite. The texture of the red delicious apples was almost the same as the donut and there wasn’t as strong of an apple flavor. When possible, opt for a Granny Smith!

Hi Carolyn, you are commenting on a recipe that is baked, not fried.
How do you store them, and how long are they good for? I want to make these for teen functions. Plus they look amazing to make anytime.
