Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cup gluten free flour blend
- 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (only add if your GF flour blend doesn't already contain xanthan)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2/3 cup milk, dairy or non-dairy
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 eggs or 6 tablespoons aquafaba
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 apples, peeled and finely diced
- 3 cups powdered/icing sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk, dairy or non-dairy
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum (if needed), baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and light brown sugar until well mixed.
- Pour in the milk (dairy or non-dairy), oil, eggs (or aquafaba), and vanilla extract. Whisk until you achieve a thick and smooth batter without lumps.
- Gently fold in the finely diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- In your skillet or pot, add enough oil to be about 1 ½ – 2 inches deep. Heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 360°F to 375°F.
- Use a big spoon to scoop out about 1–2 tablespoons of batter. Carefully drop it into the hot oil while keeping space between each fritter. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown; flip gently after cooking one side.
- Once cooked through, remove fritters from oil and place them on a wire cooling rack.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk (dairy or non-dairy), and vanilla until you achieve your desired glaze consistency.
- Dip each cooled fritter into the icing glaze and return them to the cooling rack to let excess drip off before serving.
