Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour (I prefer King Arthur)

- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon diamond crystal kosher salt
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 2 room temperature eggs
- 3 tablespoons apple sauce
- 2 honey crisp apples

Method
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.
Step 2
In a second bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and apple sauce until smooth.
Step 3
Create a well in the center if your dry ingredients, pour in wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined, and no flour streaks show.
Step 4
Peel, and dice up your apples (removing cores) and fold into batter.
Step 5
Heat about 2" of oil in a medium-large dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot.
Step 6
Carefully drop in about 1/4 spoonfuls of batter into oil.
Step 7
Fry for 2 minutes per side, until golden browned.
Step 8
Remove from oil and set on wire rack to drain.
Step 9
While fritters are cooling, mix together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and heavy cream. (add more or less heavy cream as desired for consistency)
Step 10
Dunk fritters into icing mixture, and set back on wire rack to drip and set.
