Notes
Make Ahead of Time:
- Refrigerate. Store the dough covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. This can help develop the flavor and make the dough easier to handle.
- Freeze. For longer storage, freeze the dough. Wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before frying.
- Store leftover apple fritters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, warm them in a low-temperature oven or air fryer for a few minutes until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
