Baked Homemade Apple Fritters Recipe
I have fond childhood memories of going to the local bakery and devouring fresh, warm, and admittedly greasy, apple fritters. It was the type of bakery that you could smell from blocks away as the scent of fresh dough and grease wafted freely through the air. When you’re a kid you don’t concern yourself much with that though! However, at this point in life, when I can bake something rather than fry it, I do so and these baked apple fritters couldn’t be easier. They’re made with just four main ingredients, including a major convenience item; namely, refrigerated biscuit dough. These baked apple fritters are so fast to make and are ready in just 15 minutes!

How to Make Apple Fritters in the Oven
When I say this is a foolproof homemade baked apple fritters recipe, I mean it! Here’s an overview of the baking process:
Tips for Making Baked Apple Fritters
I made 12 apple fritters but depending on if you want them larger, you can reduce the yield to 8 or 10 rather than 12. Pretty much any type of refrigerated biscuit dough will work for this recipe (i.e. flaky, Southern homestyle, etc.). Use whatever kind you’d like! Likewise, I bet you could use a gluten-free refrigerated biscuit dough without issue. Double check that the caramels or caramel sauce are gluten-free as well, and you’re set.
