Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Applesauce
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Chopped apples (peeled and finely diced)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon for dusting (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, combine the almond milk, applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped apples until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Once the fritters are cool enough to handle, dust them with powdered sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if using, before serving.
