Fluffy Apple Cinnamon Fritters are fried in coconut oil for a golden brown crust!
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these lightly sweetened apple cinnamon fritters are a fun alternative to pancakes!
The key to making these fritters hold up during frying is to finely shred a medium-sized apple in a high-speed blender, then squeeze out the excess moisture. That way, just enough liquid is remaining in the apples to keep the fritters moist, but not heavy. Sweet, soft red apples (like Galas) work best.

Tip: These apple cinnamon fritters are great for meal prep. Keep them in an airtight container in the freezer up to a month.
