Deep fried donuts stuffed with fruity bits and cinnamon spice are a popular tasty treat among Greater Victoria bakery enthusiasts.

B次元官网网址淭hey are our best selling item at our shop. We sell a few hundred of them everyday and sell out of them on most days,B次元官网网址� Esquimalt Bake Shop duo Loc Huynh and Hong Nguyen told the Victoria B次元官网网址.

The same holds true on the West Shore with apple fritters the top seller at Royal Bay Bakery, said Bradly Kiss, a baker of 25 years, with seven under his belt at the Metchosin shop.

Key to a good fritter is B次元官网网址渁 really great dough and lots of cinnamon and apples,B次元官网网址� he said.

And good oil in the fryer.

Huynh and Nguyen concur with lots of small apple chunks B次元官网网址渟o you get some in every bite. And a crispy, sugary shell with a moist and doughy inside.B次元官网网址�

The pair have been in the baking business at the same Esquimalt Road location for more than three decades B次元官网网址� since 1992. But on Dec. 2, they celebrate their first National Apple Fritter Day.

B次元官网网址淪trangely this is the first weB次元官网网址檙e hearing of National Apple Fritter Day. We have celebrated National Donut Day, National Eclair Day and various other days dedicated to celebrating some of the delicious treats we make but in our over 30 years of making donuts, no one has brought National Apple Fritter Day to our attention,B次元官网网址� the pair told the Victoria B次元官网网址.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檒l be sure to celebrate it to the fullest this year.B次元官网网址�

And if Esquimalt sells out, they hear Sidney has some tasty ones.

B次元官网网址淲e honestly havenB次元官网网址檛 tried many other apple fritters locally, but weB次元官网网址檝e read on Reddit and social media that Sidney Bakery has a pretty solid apple fritter as well.B次元官网网址�

Because theyB次元官网网址檙e closed Sunday and Monday, Royal Bay Bakery wonB次元官网网址檛 participate in National Fritter Day.

But really, every day is fritter day, according to all the bakers.

B次元官网网址淲e think the apple fritter is a very underrated donut. Nowadays everyone is too focused on creating fancy flavours, using exotic toppings/glazes,B次元官网网址� the Esquimalt duo said. B次元官网网址淎 quality apple fritter is a timeless classic that in our eyes will always reign supreme.B次元官网网址�
