Get thee to Diaz’s Bakery for freshly made apple fritters the next time you’re in Ojai. My friend Melina introduced me to this monstrosity a few weeks ago, and it’s been making regular appearances in my doughnut-flavored daydreams.
Each Frisbee-sized fritter is coated from top to bottom in a classic sugary glaze. The innards are soft, simple, and dotted with cinnamon-sprinkled apples. The whole thing is truly spectacular, but the best bites are along the cratered edges, where the icing has turned the deep-fried nubs into candy. It’s the perimeter that disappears first on my fritter.

There’s more to eat (and drink) in the Central Coast:
You must know that APPLE FRITTERS are my all time favorite guilty pleasure of all time. We have a local bakery here in Portland that makes them. One time I was telling a friend about them, picked up two one to share with her. Ate both before I got to her house, which was only 10 minutes away. She never knew what she missed. OH LORDY if I could reach into the screen and pick off a corner of that yummy fritter I would. Give away of the day for you: Send one to Elizabeth.
Apple fritters are my favorite doughnuts. Please bring me home one for Christmas.
Wow! That gigantic think looks spectacular. You didn’t eat it all at once though did you? YUM ♥
this looks amazing but what a drive! i’m going to need to plan a weekend in ojai just to try one of these babies!
I love Ojai and though apple fritters are not on my must have list, you make it sound so tempting!
I wonder how it compares to the apple fritter at Bob’s in LA? Have you been? It’s a fried behometh as well! And, incidentally, is right near Little John’s Toffee in the Farmer’s Market at Third & Fairfax!
That’s the biggest fritter I’ve ever seen!! YUM 😀 I was in Ojai last year.. wish I had’ve known about it then!
How is your skin so clear when you have an EFFING DOUGHNUT section?
Unfair! Tips, please share!
