Calling all doughnut lovers! If you crave a soft, moist and delicious fresh-baked pastry every now and then but can’t indulge in regular doughnuts, this baked vegan apple fritter recipe is for you.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cup of tart apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped (about 1 ½ apples)
  • 2 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 4 tbsp aquafaba
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup of non-dairy milk (I use almond)

Icing

  • 1 cup of powdered sugar (see my tip)
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1tbsp + 2 tsp apple juice or more if needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or non-stick silicone. 
  3. Ensure the oven rack is in the upper-middle position.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt. Mix well
  5. Add the apples, aquafaba, coconut oil and almond milk. Mix well.  I had the best result when I used a wooden spoon then got my hands in it.
  6. Scoop about  ½ cup worth of batter for each fritter. Place on a baking tray with at least 1-inch space between each fritter.  Flatten slightly with hand or spoon. Should make 6 large fritters or 8 smaller ones.
  7. Bake for 20-22 mins or until golden brown on top.
  8. While fritters are baking mix ingredients for the icing in a small bowl.
  9. While fritters are still warm pour icing sugar over the tops.
