OMG Homemade Apple Fritters! The easiest apple fritter recipe that can be oven-baked or lightly “fried” on a pan. Oh and don’t forget the glaze on top!
APPLE WEEK BABY!
Welcome to the most wonderful week of the year fam. Apple week. Which is also known as Rachel’s favorite theme in the world. And that is because I am likely the biggest apple fan you have ever met.
But really… I eat apples every single day. It is the one fruit I cannot live without. Whether I am traveling in a foreign country or whatever – I am snacking on apples. They’re favorite my go-to fruit. And if you know me well, you know I am all about honey crisps. I spend waayyyy too much $$ on my organic honey crips addiction. But they make me happy and fill my heart with so much damn joy guys!
I have a feeling you will go nuts over this week’s line up. And I debated saving these for last, but I wanted to come in real hot for ya. So let’s GO fam. Make these, love them and share them with anyone you love. Or be like us and just eat them all – HA!

What ingredients you need to make homemade apple fritters:

- Coconut sugar

How to make apple fritters on a skillet:
- In a large skillet, combine the diced apples and 1/2 cinnamon and warm over medium heat and cook for a few minutes to warm up a bit then remove from heat
- As apples cook, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon in a large bowl and mix
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg and milk and vanilla
- Add the wet ingredients to dry and mix to well combine
- Fold in apple pieces
- Warm a large skillet with avocado oil then add a heaping spoonful of dough onto the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side over medium/low heat then flip and keep cooking for another 2-3 minutes
- Repeat for remaining dough then let the fritters cool while you make the glaze
- Mix about 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk and whisk well then drizzle the glaze on top!

These apple fritters turned out so delicious! Not to mention they made my house smell amazing! I substituted whole wheat pastry flour and unsweetened cashew milk cause that’s what I had on hand, then I air fried them at 350 for 12min and they were perfection. Definitely will be making these again 🙂
Rachel

Pretty good! I preferred them without the glaze. I slathered peanut butter on top instead. I used bobs red mill 1:1 and it worked perfectly. I love that they aren’t too sweet.
