Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and light brown sugar until fully combined.
Stir in the milk, oil, eggs (or aquafaba), and vanilla extract. Whisk until a thick, smooth batter forms—ensure no lumps remain.
Fold in the finely diced apples until evenly distributed.
In a large skillet or pot, heat enough frying oil (about 1.5 – 2 inches deep) on medium-high until it reaches 360-375°F (180-190°C).
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, giving enough space between each fritter for even cooking. Fry for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until you reach your desired consistency.
Once the fritters have cooled slightly, dip them in the glaze, ensuring they’re completely coated, then place them back on the cooling rack to allow excess glaze to drip off. Enjoy!

Notes

Avoid overmixing to keep the fritters fluffy. Monitor the oil temperature closely to achieve even golden-brown fritters.
