1

Melt butter over medium-high heat and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Add apples and cook until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar and cook another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Drain fried fritters on paper towels and allow to cool slightly.

8

Prepare glaze by mixing confectioners' sugar with sparkling apple cider until smooth. Drizzle over fritters before serving.
