For best results, use cold butter to create a flakier texture. Honeycrisp apples offer a great balance of sweetness and tartness, but feel free to experiment with other varieties like Granny Smith or Fuji. Don't overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy. Keep a close eye on the fritters while broiling, as they can burn quickly. These fritters are best enjoyed warm, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
