Yes! You can prepare the batter and dice the apples a few hours in advance. Store the batter covered in the fridge and bake just before serving for maximum freshness.
You can use a gluten-free flour blend if needed, but note this may change the texture slightly. Whole wheat flour works too but results in denser bites.
Keep leftover fritter bites in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
Overmixing the batter or using dull baking powder can cause dryness. Also, smaller apple pieces keep moisture evenly distributed, preventing dryness.
