Mmmm, there is nothing like walking away from the donut shop with a warm apple fritter in your hands, except maybe cutting into this Apple Fritter Casserole. Jammy apples and tender cinnamon roll crust, with the warmth of the spice enhancing the smoky sweetness of brown sugar and the richness of butter… mmmm! Well, it had to be said again!
