Vegan Apple Fritters
featured in Vegan Breakfast Recipes
Light, fluffy, and filled with fall flavors, these apple fritters are easy as apple pie! You can use any apple of your choice. We prefer Granny Smith apples because they hold their shape during frying, and we love their sweet-tart taste. Top these fritters off with a simple glaze and serve them as a delicious breakfast or dessert.

Preparation
- Heat the canola oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, the nutmeg, allspice, salt, and baking powder.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together ⅔ cup (160 ml) almond milk, the vegetable oil, apple, melted margarine, and vanilla.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until smooth.
- Working in batches, scoop the batter in ¼-cup (60 ml) increments into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, 4–5 minutes. Transfer the fritters to the wire rack with a slotted spoon and let cool.
- Meanwhile, add the powdered sugar, remaining ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and remaining ¼ cup (60 ml) almond milk to a medium bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the fritters and let set for 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!

heres a tip add 2 table spoons of cinnamon for that crispy sweet but a tiny bit sour sweet taste definitely helps and I'll definitely make this again:3

The center was a bit dough-y after a five minute fry time using a 1/4 cup measuring cup to dose out the pieces. It could probably have stood for another 1-2 minutes in the pot.

For non vegan: I took out 1/3 cup of milk and put an egg in instead. They came out so delicious!

I made them exactly as stated except I used Canola oil and Olive oil. I also made them a little bigger which meant I fried them a little longer. I cut a few open to make sure they were all done in the middle. They are so tasty. I am going to try them in the oven next time. Paired them with Peach and Blueberry Oatmeal for an awesome breakfast.

We don’t like glazes so I just sprinkled on powdered sugar. This way it’s not too sweet
