Cinnamon Apple Fritters (Paleo/Gluten Free) (Edit recipe)

Paleo cinnamon apple fritters, perfectly crisp on the outside...soft and fluffy on the inside. Reminiscent of the larger fritters we often enjoyed from the local bakery near our home, but with happier results for our tummies. They can be enjoyed with just the cinnamon sugar sprinkle but are completely wonderful either drizzled or dipped with you favorite caramel sauce.

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Begin warming avocado oil in pan of choice on stove top. Youu2019ll need a good 2-3u2033 of oil, so depending on your pan, the amount of oil will vary. The sweet spot for frying these fritters is around 340u00b0-350u00b0 u00a0any warmer and they will burn on the outside before the insides gets done.
In a medium bowl, mix cassava flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together, whisk to combine and set aside.
In a separate small bowl, whisk eggs with vanilla till well combined, pour into flour mixture along with the coconut milk, butter and maple syrup. Stir well to combine.
Toss in apples and stir til well incorporated.
Check oil temp and/or use a small amount of batter as a tester to see if oil is ready to go. Drop by scant tablespoons into hot oil. We only fry 3 at a time, otherwise the oil temp may drop too low. Let them fry on one side until golden brown and then flip over and let the other side brown up. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with remaining batter.
Sprinkle maple cinnamon sugar on fritters after they have cooled a bit.
Enjoy with the caramel sauce via a drizzle or simply dunking fritters right in to the golden tastiness.
