Have you ever tried to imagine the world without doughnuts?
I’ll tell ya, it’s a very lonely and depressing reality. On the other hand, when there is cinnamon and apples involved in said doughnuts it’s pretty much heaven on earth. Me and apples are kind of having a moment right now. Yep, I live in an area that happens to grow my favorite apples on the planet, pink ladies! Yay-yuh!

It’s kind of ironic too, because we often buy Chilean apples from Costco here in the States, and I never would have imagined that I’d have lived there for over 4 years. Actually, a funny story that gets repeated in my family a lot involves apples and mashed potatoes. I’ll try to summarise it in a few sentences.
When the fam moved from Tennessee to Idaho our extremely packed trailer somehow managed to include a box of Mashed potato flakes that had originated in Idaho. It was made there, shipped to Tennessee, and then we brought it right back to where it started. This was really hilarious to us at the time, but wait, it gets even better. When we flew from Idaho to Chile, we arrived and realized that one of the uneaten snacks we had packed was an apple that had been grown in Chile, shipped to Idaho and then we’d flown back to Chile! We were like “No way, how did we do it again!” Funny stuff.

Okay, but enough rambling about you-had-to-be-there things, let’s talk fritterness. I know that there are plenty of recipes out there for apple fritters that are quicker because they don’t require yeast and rising time for the dough, but you guys, the yeasty goodness of a true raised doughnut can’t be matched. Trust me, my mom has taught me some of her yoda-like knowledge in the doughnut area. She knows her stuff too, cause she grew up in southern Cal, home to some of the best doughnuts on planet earth (or so I’ve been told).

Oh, and just one little baker’s note for you guys, I did have a little thing with the last few fat ones in my very first batch not wanting to get done in the very center, but that was cause my oil got too hot and I had made the fritters unrealistically thick. Hey, I’m not discriminating against the fat ones, this is just the facts. I adapted the recipe a little and it went great the second time. So yeah, just make sure your oil is hot enough but don’t let it get so hot that the outside cooks before the inside is finished. If in doubt you can always make your fritters half-size and you shouldn’t have any problems.

Glazed Cinnamon Apple Fritters
Prep Time: 50 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 3 hours
Yield: 14 - 16 fritters
Wondering what to do with all the seasonal apples? Make some homemade glazed apple fritters that simply melt in your mouth.
Ingredients
Dough:
1 cup warm plant-based milk
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup organic sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 1/2 cups gluten free flour blend *see note
Apples:
5 medium apples (peeled, cored, and cut into small chunks)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze:
3 cups powdered sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with dough hook (or a large bowl), dissolve yeast in milk and allow to sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly. Beat in baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon until combined. Add flour a cup at a time until your dough comes together. It might be slightly stickier than most bread doughs. Cover bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and place in warm place to rise for about 1 hour. (Alternatively, you can refrigerate the dough overnight and have it ready for a quick breakfast.)
Meanwhile, make your apples. In a large frying pan over medium high heat, add apples and about 1 inch of water. Cook, stirring gently, until the apples start to soften (8-10 minutes). Add other ingredients for apples and continue cooking until most of the liquid in pan is evaporated. Remove from heat and cool.
When dough has risen, uncover and add your cooked apples to dough. Use a large rubber spatula to fold apples in and evenly incorporate into the dough. You can use your hands instead if necessary. Divide the dough into about 15 pieces and place them at least an inch apart on a parchment line tray. Press them down to flatten slightly.
Heat oil in a wok, dutch oven, or deep fryer to about 350 degrees F (180 C). Use a spatula to scoop fritters of of pan then drop them into the oil, a few at a time, and fry on each side for about 2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and continue frying until all fritters are done. (You can break a fatter one open to be sure your centers are cooking through. If not, make sure your oil is not too hot.)
Whisk powered sugar, and milk together in a medium bowl. Add vanilla, salt, syrup, and cinnamon and mix until smooth. Dip the warm fritters in glaze and place on wire rack to allow excess to drip off. Serve as soon as possible.
Notes
If you'd prefer to make these with all-purpose flour you can definitely do that, just add about 4 cups instead of the 3 1/2 cups gf flour.

This looks delicious. I love your photo.
Life without doughnuts is no life at all! Haha
I’ve been eyeing all the gorgeous in-season apples, (pink lady apples are amazing! I’m also partial to ambrosias... they’re quite similar) contemplating pie or turnovers, but I think fritters have just won out. I’m a doughnut freak (as I’ve mentioned before ) and fritters are hubby’s fave. I’ll have to make them at the end of the week when my bestie comes to visit - always good to have help eating these things. Haha
Hmmmmmm they look sweet... going to try these..sweet product photography too 👍
