Baked Apple Fritters

Enjoying ALL the seasonal foods at the moment! Somehow these baked apple fritters have made their way into my everyday diet

You can bake or pan-fry these babies! Baking will keep them a little bit healthier but I have tried both versions & both are amazingly delicious. 

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups of peeled, chopped apples
• 1 egg 
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar 
• 1 cup all purpose flour 
• 1/2 cup coconut milk (or preferred milk) 
• 1.5 tsp baking powder 
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 
• 2 TBSP maple syrup 
• 1 TBSP coconut oil & 2 TBSP chocolate chips (optional for chocolate drizzle) 

Directions: 

1. Set oven to 350 degrees. 

2. Combine chopped apples with coconut sugar and maple syrup and coat well. Add to a large skillet and cook on low-heat for 5-10 minutes. Once apples appear caramelized, remove from heat and set aside. 

3. Add flour, egg, milk, baking powder and cinnamon to a large bowl and combine. 

4. Add this mixture to your apple mixture and mix well. 

5. Begin to form fritters by adding 2 heaping tablespoons of batter to a cookie pan greased cookie pan. 

6. Cook fritters for 6-7 minutes. 

7. If wanting to add chocolate drizzle, microwave 2 TBSP chocolate chips with 1 TBSP coconut oil and drizzle over fritters once removed from the oven. ENJOY!
