mom's apple fritter recipe

If you are that person with a million and one allergies and intolerance I am there to say you are not alone! Life After Gluten can be better than life with wheat. Living lactose-free since 2007 and gluten-free since 2013. Also intolerant and/or allergic to mushrooms, soy, and yeast.


Do you have that special food that transports you back to a time when you were young? I mean not that your old. No ones implying that. (Awkward cough)

When I was younger, my mom made apple fritters often. Honestly, she probably didn't make them as often as I think but in my clouded memory she made them almost every week.

They were warm, soft, juicy, dusted lightly with confectioners' sugar and they just begged you to eat another one.

This recipe isn't truly my mother's recipe because sadly hers weren't gluten-free. But at the time that either wasn't a problem or hadn't progressed into one. HOWEVER, the first thought I had when the first fritter hit the hot fryer oil was "THESE SMELL JUST LIKE WHEN I WAS FIVE!" Nothing brings sweeter smile than memories of simple pleasures of childhood.

I don't care that this wasn't my mom's recipe, she didn't invent the recipe (I think she used the Joy of Cook) but what I tasted when I ate the first test fritter from the gluten-free, dairy-free fritter recipe below was a taste of home.

Perhaps your mom or grandma never made apple fritters. If so I am sorry for your loss. But it is not too late!!! These are just a complete comfort food it literally doesn't matter how old you were when you tried your first bite, it will still be love at first bite.

What is more is once you too fall in love with these tender and crispy morsels you can share them with family and friends and become part of a precious memory for someone else.

So share the love my friend and enjoy baking. Until next time I will be seeing you around the Life After Gluten.

Your blogger and friend,
Tamara Green

ingredients

100 grams  chickpea flour
100 grams  flour mix #3 (20 grams arrowroot starch/flour, 40 grams brown rice flour, 40 grams sweet rice flour)
10 grams/4 tsp  pysllium husk powder
8 grams/2 tsp  double-acting baking powder
3 grams/1 1/2 tsp  cinnamon, ground
pinch of cloves and nutmeg
1 gram/1/4 tsp  kosher salt
45 grams  demerara style brown sugar
45 grams  apple cider
3 large  eggs, room temperature
5 grams/1 tsp  apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
6 each  Granny Smith apples

apple cider glaze
100 grams  confectioners’ sugar
50 grams  apple cider
2 grams/1/2 tsp  cinnamon, ground


method

Heat a couple of inches of vegetable oil in a heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium to medium-low heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, flour mix #3, pysllium husk powder, double-acting baking powder (*see note), cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and kosher salt.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add the apple cider, demerara style brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. Gently fold the dry and wet ingredients together until just combined. Fold in the apples, adding enough to make a very chunky batter. Lastly fold in the baking powder.

Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, 6 to 8 at a time. Fry until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve up with warm sausage and bacon! OR glaze them with the apple cider glaze which will just make the apple flavour POP so much more, I mean really it makes a terrific difference.

To make the apple cider glaze: Simply whisk together the confectioners' sugar, apple cider and cinnamon.


*NOTES: If you are using single acting baking powder than add it at the very end of the recipe, after the apples have been folded in, and fry immediately.
