Chewy apple fritters are a delightful treat that pairs perfectly with tea. The batter is made with simple ingredients like yogurt, vanilla essence, and chunks of fresh apple, creating a sticky and thick consistency. These fritters are baked in an air fryer or oven, making them a healthier alternative to deep-fried versions. The glaze adds a sweet finishing touch, making them irresistible!
