Morphology
The compound combines a clear food noun 'apple' with 'fritter' (a fried batter item), so the meaning — a fritter made with apple pieces — is directly derivable from the constituents. This culinary, compositional pattern is common and predictable cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words would understand the MWE.
Etymology
Apple fritter comes from the simple picture of chopped apple mixed into batter and deep-fried into a lumpy little cake called a fritter. So the name means 'a fried apple snack', which is why today it refers to the sweet, fried treat with apple pieces inside.
