Apple Raisin Fritters

By Trina Astor-Stewart ©

I asked one of my sons if there was anything special that he would like me to make. Something his friends take for granted that we can't have. There are so many delicious things out there and everyone has a hankering now and then for something different!

Well he replied, That he would just love to have some Apple Fritters! Apparently, way back when we could eat, or thought we could eat at doughnut shops, his favorite was Apple Fritters.

So I experimented and came up with this new gluten free recipe. The fritters were delicious, I even made a huge batch to take with us on a trip, we were meeting people two hours from where we live and didn't know if there would be any place to get a gf snack. When we got there, everyone was hungry, traffic had been awful, and our friends who met us there and are not on a gf diet, loved them too!

Gluten Free Apple Raisin Fritters

Place
4 Cups of Astoria Mills Artisan Mix - White in a bowl ( available mid September 2009)

1 1/2 cups cold water
3 eggs beaten (or flax seed egg substitute)
1/4 cup oil
Blend well together and then add:
2 apples cut up in small chunks
1/2 cup raisins
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar or substitute

Mix well again and let mixture rest for 2 hours at room temperature or over night in the fridge. The dough will keep in the fridge uncooked for 2 days.

Prepare a deep fryer or wok with about 2 inches of sunflower seed oil. Heat gently, when oil is hot place about 4 or 5 large spoonfuls of the dough at a time, into the hot oil and fry gently on both sides.ntil golden brown. ( If dough has been refrigerated, let stand for half hour to warm a bit) Using a slotted spoon remove the fritters from the hot oil and drain on a paper to well. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and enjoy them warm or cold.

Makes a dozen or so apple fritters. You can double the recipe for a crowd of teenagers ...and you may have to, they are soooo good! Don't mention they are gluten free and they probably won't notice.
