Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until smooth.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Ensure the dough is well combined but avoid over-mixing.
Step 4
Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter to cut the dough into rectangular or triangular pieces, as desired.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Carefully place a few pieces of the dough into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the pastries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
Step 9
While still warm, sprinkle the pastries with a light dusting of ground cinnamon for additional flavor.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your sugar-free fried pastries!
