YIELD: 15 FRITTERS
Like pocket-size apple pies, these crunchy fritters are hard to resist! I love making these when I over purchase during apple season as this is a great recipe to get friends and family to gobble up all those extra apples quickly! You’ll need a deep fryer for these to achieve a perfect crunch and quick, even cooking throughout.
Directions
Preheat deep fryer to 360°F.
Slice apples into ¼- to ½-inch-thick circles and use a small circular cookie cutter or apple corer to remove the seeds to form rings.
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the besan, sugar, non dairy milk, salt, and cinnamon until smooth.
Once the fryer is ready, dredge the apple slices in the extra besan and then dip into the batter to completely coat.
Fry apples three to four at a time for 5 minutes, flipping over two-thirds of the way through cooking time.
Transfer to a paper towel– or paper bag– lined baking sheet (they will be soft at first) and then sprinkle with turbinado and confectioner’s sugar.
Repeat until all batter/apple slices have been fried.
Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve the same day, best within 1 hour of preparing.
