I'm not sure what went wrong with these apple fritters. I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out flat and dense. The apples were also too tart. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

These apple fritters were a bit too dense for my taste, but they were still good. I used a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, and they gave the fritters a nice flavor. I think I would use more baking powder next time.
