Directions
-
Step 1
In a large bowl combine the flour, warm oat milk, warm water, salt, sugars and yeast.
-
Step 2
Grate the fresh granny smith apple, add to the batter mixture and stir through. Leave for 20 minutes.
-
Step 3
Heat oil to around 170–180°C. To make fritters, use your hands or a spoon to drop large, beautiful globs of apple batter into the oil and leave to cook for 7–8 minutes or until golden and crispy.
-
Step 4
Add icing sugar to a bowl and whisk in the apple juice one tablespoon at a time until resembling a glaze consistency.
-
Step 5
Take out the apple fritters and drain on a paper towel. Drizzle the glaze on top and finish with fresh apple matchsticks.
