đź“ť Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Green Apples | 4 |
| Eggs | 5 |
| Flax Meal | 1/4 cup |
| Coconut Flour | 2 tablespoons |
| Shredded Coconut | 1/4 cup |
| Ground Cinnamon | 1 teaspoon |
| Nutmeg | 1/8 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Honey (optional) | 2 tablespoons |
| Coconut Oil | For frying |
👩‍🍳 How to Make Them
1. Grate the Apples
Peel and grate the green apples using a hand grater. Avoid using a food processor, which can turn the apples to mush. Once grated, press the apples with paper towels to remove any extra moisture.
2. Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, stir together the grated apples, eggs, flax meal, coconut flour, shredded coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and honey (if using). Mix until the batter is thick and well combined.
3. Heat the Oil
In a sturdy pan, warm a generous amount of coconut oil over medium heat. You’ll want enough to shallow-fry the fritters evenly.
4. Cook the Fritters
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Cook each fritter for 2–3 minutes on one side until golden, then carefully flip and fry the other side for another 2–3 minutes. Keep an eye on the heat to avoid burning.
5. Drain and Serve
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve them warm, drizzled with a touch of honey or paired with almond butter on the side for dipping.
These apple fritters are the perfect combo of crisp, warm, and spiced—an easy homemade treat with a big comfort factor. Ideal for chilly mornings, afternoon cravings, or dessert with a rustic twist! Let me know if you want a gluten-free or baked version too.
