Whether drizzled with a maple glaze or enjoyed plain, they’re a delicious snack or dessert that’s both comforting and AIP-compliant.

Ingredients

Scale

Apple Fritters:

  • 1/2 cup cassava flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3 tbsp maple sugar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup carbonated water
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apple (e.g., Granny Smith)
  • Avocado oil (for frying)

Maple Glaze (Optional):

  • 1/4 cup coconut butter
  • 2 tbsp coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk cassava flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, and maple sugar. Create a well in the center and add maple syrup, carbonated water, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until smooth, then gently fold in diced apples.

2. Heat Oil: In a deep pan or pot, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F–365°F. Test by dropping a small bit of batter into the oil—it should sizzle immediately.

3. Fry the Fritters: Divide the batter into 7–8 portions and flatten slightly into discs. Carefully place each fritter into the hot oil and fry for about 2–2½ minutes per side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a cooling rack or paper towel-lined plate.

4. Make the Glaze (Optional): Combine coconut butter, coconut milk, maple syrup, sea salt, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and drizzle over slightly cooled fritters before serving.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Serve warm with a drizzle of glaze or dust with extra cinnamon for added flavor. Pair with tea or coffee for a cozy treat.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use carbonated water for fluffier fritters.
  • Maintain oil temperature for even frying; too hot will burn them, too cool will make them greasy.

Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to restore crispiness—avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.
