VEGAN APPLE FRITTERS.

I remember being a little girl and going to the flea market with my grandmother to buy socks. Our snack stop was always the booth with the freshly fried apple fritters. Apple fritters are the first and most memorable food I remember sharing with my Grandmother, and since she has been on my mind a lot lately, when I saw all of the apples at the farmer's market this morning, I knew it was the perfect treat to make. 

They were surprisingly very easy to make, except for regulating the oil temperature, quick and very delicious!

This was my first time deep drying with coconut oil and I LOVED it! The coconut didn't influence my flavors at all, it fried cleanly, and was easy to regulate. If the oil seemed to be getting too hot on the low heat, I simply took it off of the burner for a few minutes so it could cool down, but continue cooking, and then returned the pan to the heat.

I iced them with a simple powdered sugar glaze. Enjoy!!

Apple Fritters yields 8 medium sized fritters.

Fritter:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup natural sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/3 cup almond milk
• 2 eggs worth of ener-G egg replacer (3tsp egg replacer, 4tbsp warm water)
• 1 cup chopped apple
• Coconut Oil for frying

Glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• almond milk as needed, 1/4c-ish?
• dash of vanilla bourbon extract (or just plain vanilla)
• dash of cinnamon

Directions:

1. Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon. 

2. Mix egg replacer in small dish and add milk, then transfer to bowl with dry ingredients. 

3. Fold in apple. 

4. Pour oil into skillet so that it is approximately 1 1/2 deep.  Heat oil on high until 375, then lower in order to regulate the heat.    

5. Carefully add dough to oil in desired size of fritters.  Cook until brown, about 2 minutes, then flip.  Cook another 1-2 minutes, until both sides are browned. 

6. Transfer briefly to paper towels to absorb excess oil, then transfer to cooling rack. 

7. Make glaze by stirring milk and powdered sugar, vanilla and cinnamon together in a small bowl with a whisk.  Drizzle over apple fritters.
