Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup coconut milk full-fat, canned
  • 2 egg
  • 2 tsp lemon juice or cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour gluten-free
  • 1/3 cup maple sugar or brown sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk the coconut milk, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and sea salt.
  4. Pour the dry mixture into the bowl with the wet mixture and mix until a thick dough forms.
  5. 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.
  6. Portion out about ½ cup of dough and place it on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining dough.
  7. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, until the fritters are golden-brown.
  8. While the fritters are baking, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a bowl.
  9. 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.
  10. Remove the fritters from the oven and drizzle with the remaining glaze. Allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
