Drizzle these Apple Fritter Bites in a creamy coconut glaze for a cozy treat!

No donut shop can beat these Apple Fritter Bites! Made with Honeycrisp apples and creamy coconut glaze, these gluten-free fritters are a two-bite delight! Bake them up to pair with coffee or serve as a yummy dessert to share with others.

Cassava and blanched almond flours come together to create a soft and airy breading. Use apple cider vinegar for a bit of tartness and round out the flavor with a hint of cinnamon. While this recipe utilizes Honeycrisp apples, you can also opt for Granny Smith, Gala, or any others you prefer.

The best part is the creamy coconut butter on top. It’s completely dairy-free and can be found at most health food stores or you can make your own at home using our favorite two-ingredient recipe (it’s easy!). Try adding an extra tablespoon of honey to bump up the sweetness!

To get started, combine the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Use a measuring cup to whisk together the wet ingredients. Toss the chopped apples into the flour mixture and stir in the wet ingredients. Mix the mixture into a batter and scoop a heaping tablespoon onto a baking sheet. Add the remaining batter and spread each mound two inches apart.

Bake the fritters for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned on top. Cool the fritters for 10 minutes and drizzle coconut butter on top. Tip: If the coconut butter is too dry, add one tablespoon of coconut milk. Serve warm and enjoy or store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
