Calories: 211kcal
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp lemon juice or cider vinegar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup maple sugar or brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 2 small apples peeled, cored and diced (2 cups)
Optional Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar (or powdered maple sugar
- 4 to 7 Tbsp apple cider or full-fat canned coconut milk or melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the coconut milk, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and sea salt.
- Pour the dry mixture into the bowl with the wet mixture and mix until a thick dough forms.
- Add the chopped apples and mix them into the dough. For this portion, I use my hands to mix and press the apples into the dough so that the chunks are evenly distributed.
- Portion out about ½ cup of dough and place it on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining dough.
- Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, until the fritters are golden-brown.
- While the fritters are baking, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a bowl.
- Remove the fritters from the oven and brush them with the glaze. Place them back in the oven and turn on the high broil setting. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, keeping a watchful eye so that the fritters don’t burn.
- Remove the fritters from the oven and drizzle with the remaining glaze. Allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
