Homemade, bakery-style apple fritter donuts are the perfect sweet treat that you typically find at a donut shop, but made just as great in your own home. Small pieces of soft yet crisp apple are mixed with cinnamon and folded into a soft yeast dough, fried to golden brown perfection, and doused in a simple glaze.
