Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 180 ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 medium apples
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 500 ml vegetable oil
- 50 g powdered sugar
Instructions
Peel and core the apples, then dice them into small cubes. Toss the apple cubes with lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop dollops of batter into the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
While still warm, dust the fritters with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free apple fritters while they are fresh and warm.
