These are so decadent and delicious - thanks to the macadamia oil, apples have never tasted so good!
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups plain flour
1/3 cup coconut sugar, plus 2 tablespoons extra
1/2 teaspoon bi-carb
Pinch salt
11/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus 2 teaspoons extra
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon macadamia oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or pure extract
1/2 cup Vitasoy Ricemilk Original
2 medium apples, peeled and diced into 1cm cubes
Vegetable oil for shallow frying
Method
Mix together the flour, 1/3 cup coconut sugar, bi-carb, salt, 11/2 teaspoons cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl
In another bowl, whisk together the oil, egg, vanilla and ricemilk. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped apple
Heat about 5cm deep of macadamia oil in a small sauce pan over medium. Test the heat with a pea sized amount of batter, if it sizzles and browns in about 10 seconds it's ready
Using a cookie scoop, or two tablespoons, drop scoops (about 2 tablespoons worth) of batter into the hot oil, about 4 per batch so you don't overcrowd the pan. Cook for 30 seconds until browned on the underside, then flip and cook for 30 seconds more. If you make them bigger or smaller then adjust the cooking time accordingly. They work best as small fritters about the size of golf balls
Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Repeat with all the batter
Place the extra coconut sugar and extra cinnamon onto a clean plate and mix with your fingers to combine. Add the hot fritters and roll around to coat. Serve immediately
Tips & Hints
All other milks in the Vitasoy range can be substituted for the ricemilk. Any oil can be used for shallow frying, choose one with a high smoke point
Cut enough apples to yield about 11/2 cups diced apple
