Apple fritters are the ultimate fall treat. They’re crispy on the outside, lightly spiced, filled with gooey apple chunks, and absolutely perfect with a cup of coffee. Maybe you’ve never thought of making your own vegan apple fritters? They do, after all require deep frying. Don’t be scared though! Deep frying is easier than you think, and I’ll lead you through the process below. All things considered, these treats are actually pretty easy to make. Unlike with my classic vegan doughnuts, there’s no yeast in this recipe, so it comes together quickly, with no kneading and no proofing required.
How They’re Made
The following is a detailed photo tutorial on how to make this dish. Scroll all the way down if you’d like to skip right to the recipe! Start heating your oil up first. The batter comes together quick, but the oil takes a while to come up to temperature. Place it in a large pot over medium heat, and use a thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature. Tip: When your fritters are done, don’t pour your hot oil down the drain. It will cause a clog! Wait for it to cool, transfer it to a coffee can or similar sealable disposable container, then throw it in the trash. Or, if you’re planning on doing more frying in the near future, you can save it and reuse it. Once your fritters are cool (which won’t take long) you can make the icing by combining powdered sugar, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle it all over the fritters, or, if you really love icing, dip them in it! Tip: If you’d rather have some apple flavored fall doughnuts that are baked (instead of fried), try my vegan apple cider doughnuts or vegan apple crumble doughnuts.
