If you love apple fritters, you’ll LOVE my Apple Fritter Cake! Same great taste, and but NOT deep fried!! This amazing cake tastes just like apple fritters, straight from the fryer – light and fluffy vanilla cake layer topped with soft yet crunchy sweet cinnamon apples! Enjoy this breakfast and brunch – served warm as a snack with coffee or tea. This also makes a perfect dessert idea with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream or Salted Caramel Ice Cream.
