made by hand, from the heart
Ingredients
Apple fritters:
- 1 1/2 cups Hand + Heart Gluten Free All Purpose Flour (1 to 1)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon milk or dairy free milk
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons apple sauce
- 2 large Granny Smith Apple, peeled, cored and diced
- Canola oil or vegetable oil for frying
Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk or dairy free milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the batter:
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Whisk to combine.
- In a separate small bowl, mix milk, eggs and applesauce and whisk to combine.
- Add the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir just to combine. Do not over mix. The batter will be thicker than a pancake batter.
- Fold in diced apples.
Fry the fritters:
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy skillet or Dutch oven to 350ºF . Drop about ¼ cup of batter into the oil and spread the batter as you drop to flatten the top. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook each side until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and drain on top of a paper towel lined plate or on a cooling rack to drain.
Make the glaze:
- Mix all the glaze ingredients and whisk until smooth. Drop fritters into the glaze and turn the fritters over to make sure all sides are well coated with the glaze.
- Place on the cooling rack to air dry and drip.
Notes:
Gluten Free Apple Fritters are best enjoyed the same day it is made.
Store leftover fritters in an airtight container up to 2 days and heat in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
