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

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the gluten free flour blend, xanthan gum (if needed), baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar together until well mixed.
Stir in milk, oil, eggs (or aquafaba), and vanilla extract until you have a thick batter.
Fold in the diced apples gently until evenly distributed.
Heat oil in a skillet to 360-375°F (80-90°C).
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on each side (about 3 minutes per side).
Remove fritters from oil and cool on a wire rack.
For glazing, whisk powdered sugar with milk and vanilla until desired consistency is achieved, then dip cooled fritters into the glaze.
