Gluten Free Apple Fritters

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cup gluten free flour blend (210 g)
  • 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (only add if your GF flour blend doesn't already contain xanthan)
  • 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (28 g)
  • 2/3 cup milk, dairy or non dairy (160 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon oil (15 ml)
  • 2 eggs or 6 tablespoons aquafaba (90 ml)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 apples, peeled and finely diced
  • 3 cups powdered/icing sugar (375 g)
  • 3 tablespoons milk, dairy or non dairy (45 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Stir in the milk, oil, eggs (or aquafaba) and vanilla extract. Whisk thick, smooth batter until no lumps remain.
  3. Stir in the apples.
  4. In a large skillet or pot add the frying oil so that it's about 1 1/2 – 2 inches deep. Turn the heat to medium-high and let the oil get hot. You want to oil to be about 360-375°F/80-90°C before adding the batter.
  5. When the oil is hot, begin adding the batter. Using a big spoon, scoop out some batter (about 1-2 tablespoons worth) and drop into the hot oil. Make sure to carefully drop the batter into the oil so that it doesn't splash. Leave some space between each fritter so they cook evenly – how many you can fry at a time will depend on the size of your pot. You will likely be able to fit 3-4 at time. Let each fritter cook about 3 minutes on each side before flipping over and frying another 2-3 minutes. Repeat until all the batter has been used up.
  6. When you're done, carefully remove the fritters from the oil and let cool on a wire cooling rack.
  7. To make the icing: whisk the icing sugar, milk and vanilla together in a small bowl until a thick glaze forms. For a thicker glaze add more icing sugar and for a thinner glaze add more milk.
  8. When the fritters have cooled slightly, dip in the glaze and then set back on the cool rack to let the excess glaze drip off. Coat each fritter in glaze and enjoy!
