Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (65g) coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp (10g) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
  • 1 large egg (50g)
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 3 tbsp (42g) melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (300g) peeled and finely diced firm apples
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) milk
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until no clumps remain.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the egg, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir with a spatula until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  4. Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the thick batter.
  5. Drop 1/4 cup (approx. 60ml) scoops of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 18–20 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers spring back when touched.
  7. Whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters.
