For Warm Doughnuts in the Morning, Let Apple Fritters Rise Overnight
For yeast-risen treats that I want to eat in the morning, an overnight rise is essential because, call me crazy, but I’m not a fan of getting up at 3 am to get the dough going.

Thankfully, these apple fritters rise beautifully in the refrigerator overnight which means you can prepare the fritters the night before you want to eat them.

All you have to do in the morning is let the fritters sit out on the counter for bit to bring the dough back up to room temperature, fry them, glaze them, and eat them.

How to Make a Classic Maple Glaze
I mean… apples and maple syrup. Do I really even need to say any more?

While creating this recipe, I tried all sorts of things with the glaze. I added apple cider – which you’d think would be delicious, but not so much. I added orange zest to a batch and lemon zest to another – both are too citrusy for fritters.

I used honey instead of syrup – tasty, but kind of bland. I tried it with molasses and sorghum syrup – also tasty, but the flavor is too strong and overpowers the taste of the apples in the fritters.

A simple glaze made with pure maple syrup, powdered sugar, and vanilla and almond extract was our favorite, hands down. Glazing the fritters right after frying them results in that crackly, sweet, doughnut shop glaze that’s sooooo good over warm, sweet, dough.
