Apples and I are having a thing at the moment.
And by that, I simply mean I am in full on apple mode. Gimme all those delicious crispy apples so I can put them in, on and with EVERYTHING. No seriously, that’s how it’s going down these days. All the apples please!
Watch the how-to video here:
Pumpkin Spice, Maple Glazed Apple Fritters from Half Baked Harvest on Vimeo.
So let’s see, where should I start today? I actually don’t have all that much rambling to do. I rambled a whole bunch yesterday about my new cute little black cat, Snape, so I don’t know, I guess I am outta breath today.
Well, maybe not completely.
I mean, I have PLENTY of breath energetic fingers to tell you all about these maple glazed apple fritters!
First? They are AMAZING, but you probably guessed I would say that, huh? It’s the full on truth though.
Basically these are doughnuts, stuffed with apples and drizzled with a maple glaze. Come on, how could they not be good. I find them best enjoyed with a steaming cup of hot chocolate, coffee (guys, can you believe I drink coffee now?!?!)Â or apple cider…but you know I really just want the hot chocolate.
Hey, you can’t blame me. It was twenty-six degrees this morning, I am allowed to be delving into all things cozy…with mugs and mugs of hot chocolate. Gosh, I really love fall, it’s my favorite….and it officially begins tomorrow…hands clapping, fists pumping, huge dorky smile on my face…yup, that’s me right now.
Also, also!! I am getting way too excited for Halloween. Next week, Asher and I may be having a three-day sleepover filled with all the spooky things we can come up with.
I’m basically filled to the brim with excitement at them moment. Yesssss
Triple also, Asher wants me to buy all these Halloween decorations and make all sorts of spooky foods. Thoughts? Ideas?? Just putting this out there now, but we can chat more on that next week.
For now, let me fill your brain with delicious apple fritter thoughts.
You’re going to want to run to the store now, because in about thirty or so seconds you will quickly realize that you need these fritters in your life. And you need them NOW.
Sorry, I am so dramatic. In real life I don’t really talk like this, but all that I am saying is true.
You start with a yeast dough spiced with….yup, pumpkin spice! I just couldn’t resist, I had too! The dough is also made with apple cider, so it’s extra sweet and special. Perfect – just the way I like it.
The apple filling is pretty simple. Apples, butter, brown sugar and vanilla. You could eat it with a spoon, it’s that good! Or over ice cream would be amazing too. Or, OR, you could serve your fritters WITH ice cream. YES. <— do this.
While these fritters are fairly simple to make, the tricky part is keeping all those apples inside while you are forming the fritters. Try not to fret about any apples that fall out of the dough or that are sticking out. You can just simply pop them back in. The important thing to remember here is that these are fritters, they DO NOT need to be perfect in any way, shape or form. Seriously remember this.
AND you’ll just be covering these little fritters in glaze anyway, so their looks? They really don’t matter. Just stuff those apple in there, fry, glaze and eat! Oh, and eat them warm. These are best warm. Trust me!
So go on now, have a fritter frenzy!!

With a side of hot chocolate…cause YES. Tuesday, you are so sweet!
What kind of oil do you use to fry the fritters?
Canola oil. Hope you love these!
I would not be able to contain myself if these landed in front of me. Not.At.All.
Apple fritters are so good.
Hot chocolate and warm fritters sounds good to me.
You are making me wish I had a sister to have a three day spooky sleepover with. Oh well, I’ll always have doughnuts.
First of all, those look amazing! But (sort of) unrelated… Do you have high altitude baking tips or have you found it be a non-issue? I’ve had some problems with ‘yeasty’ recipes and have found it easiest to blame it on living at high altitude…
HI! I never adjust for altitude. When I do I always end up with dry baked good. My secrete is to under bake everything!! My cakes are a little sunken, but they taste yummy! 🙂 Let me know if you have any other questions!
I seriously need these in my life asap. Also, I totally vote the hot chocolate too. Pinned!!
These scream fall! I wish I had a plate full of these in front of me now.
Thanks Laura!
These looks heavenly delicious! I just stared at the apple filling for a full minute- my need for this is real! Can’t wait to give this gorgeous recipe a try!

I had such a hard time deciding which picture to pin! They are all so lovely! Can’t wait to make these.
You’re having a thing with apples, and I’m having a thing with dessert lately so this recipe hits the spot! These look great!
Oh.My.Word Thank goodness I live down the road from an apple farm is all I can say. Looking forward to making these – love the addition of the pumpkin spice to the dough!
My dad would bring us home fresh apple fritters every Saturday morning. Man, these are taking me back!
Oh my gosh, I bet those where AMAZING! Thanks Heidi!
These look INSANE – I can’t wait to make them over the holiday season!
OH and I love the glaze you put on these! The maple syrup and coffee combination sounds so good. I might use that for other things too!
Oh yes!! These look fantastic. We just started making apple fritters at the bakery I work at so I make a batch every morning and it gives me ALL the good fall/apple/cold weather/cozy vibes. So happy it’s going to be fall tomorrow
