Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized, peeled, cored, and diced Apples
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup (for frying) Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, toss the peeled, cored, and diced apples with the lemon juice to prevent browning and to add a bit of tartness.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be sure not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 5
Gently fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying by dropping a small spoonful of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the apple batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
Step 8
Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Step 10
Serve warm. Optional: Dust with cinnamon, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener for added sweetness if desired.
