Vegan Apple Fritters
🌱 Vegan Apple Fritters 🍎
These Vegan Apple Fritters are craggy, cinnamon-scented, and covered in a thin white glaze. No eggs. No dairy. Diced apple stays in the batter so every bite has fruit. They look messy on purpose — that’s how a fritter should look.
I love glazing them while they’re still a little warm so the icing drips into the cracks. Don’t pack the pan. They need space to brown. 💚

The Secret to Fritters That Aren’t Soggy
Pat the apple dry after you dice it. Wet fruit waters down the batter. The mix should be thick, not pourable. Medium heat so the apple cooks before the outside burns. Glaze after they cool 5 minutes — hot fritters melt the icing into nothing.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Can I bake them instead of frying? 🔥
Yes. 400°F (200°C) for 16–20 minutes, flipping once. Spray with oil so they brown.
Which apples work best? 🍎
A firm apple like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. Soft apples turn to mush.
How do I store them? 🧊
Best the same day. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 6 minutes. Don’t microwave.
