gluten free vegan apple fritters
AUTHOR: Sarah Bakes Gluten Free
RECIPE TYPE: breakfast
SERVES: 14-16
- 1 cup Sarah's gluten free flour blend
- 4 tablespoons cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut or almond milk
- 2 tablespoons organic non hydrogenated shortening, melted
- 1 1/4 cups peeled and finely diced apples (about 2 apples)
- oil for frying*
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 tablespoons So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk
- In heavy pot or saucepan, heat 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat until oil reaches 340 degrees.
- While oil is heating, prepare donut dough by sifting together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in mixing bowl.
- Add coconut milk and melted shortening. Stir just until dough comes together. Fold in finely diced apples.
- Using small cookie scoop, make balls of dough and gently drop 3-4 into heated oil. Cook on each side 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Carefully remove apple fritters from oil using tongs and allow to drain on paper towel lined plate.
- While donuts cool slightly, make simple glaze by mixing together powdered sugar and coconut milk in small bowl.
- While still warm, dip apple fritters into glaze to coat. Place on cooling rack to allow excess to drip off. Best served warm or same day.
*I used a mixture of coconut oil and organic shortening for frying, but any lightly flavored oil will work.
