Ingredients
For the fritters
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 2 apples
- 1/2 cup plant based milk
- vegetable oil , for frying
For the glaze
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup water
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Skillet
Instructions
- Mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and brown sugar.
- Peel and dice the apples into small cubes, and add them to the dry ingredients together with the plant based milk. Stir together well.
- Cover the bottom of a skillet over a medium-high heat with vegetable oil. After a couple of minutes, add around 1/2 cup of the batter per apple fritter and flatten it down using a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for a few minutes more. They should be crispy and golden brown on both sides.
- Prepare the glaze. Add the vanilla extract to the icing sugar, then gradually pour in water and mix together continuously until a thick glaze forms.
- Transfer the fritters to a plate or a cooling rack, and drizzle the glaze on top. You can also use a pair of kitchen tongs to dip them in the glaze. Allow them to rest for a few minutes for the glaze to solidify, then serve immediately.

Notes
- Use any apple variety of your choice. Granny Smith apples make a great option because they have a sweet and sour flavor profile, and plenty of crispiness.
- Apple fritters are best served immediately because otherwise they start to lose their crispiness.
