Candice’s Low Carb Apple Fritters

Now I have to be honest.. I could not find my candy thermometer so I'm pretty sure my oil temperature was not right. So my fritters were just a little greasy. I can guarantee if you heat oil to proper temp, yours will turn out better! Either way, these were delicious.. and I ended up eating almost 3.. opps



Hope you enjoy!

Makes 6 fitters

Ingredients:

1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup half and half*
1 teaspoon white vinegar
10-12 drops liquid (I use EZ-Sweetz)
3 eggs
pinch of salt
pinch of nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 small apple(aprox 50g), fine dice

Icing(optional)
2 Tablespoons Granulated Splenda, powdered **
1/2 Tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 Tablespoon half and half*

Vegetable oil for frying


Instructions:

Heat oil to 375F , about 1 1/2 inches in medium sized heavy bottom skillet or pan.

Mix heavy cream and half&half in a cup. Add vinegar. Stir and let set for 5 minutes.

In small bowl mix coconut flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon & nutmeg. Set aside.


In a medium size bowl add eggs and cream mixture.

Mix in coconut flour mixture. Lastly fold in chopped apples.

Spoon batter into your hot oil and cook for about 2 -3 minutes or until brown flipping 1/2 way to brown both sides. Depending on the size of your pan or pot be sure to not cook too many at one time. I did 3 at a time in a 10" pan.
Once cooked, transfer fritters to some stalked paper towels to cool off a bit and drain excess oil.

Mix icing ingredients and spoon over fritters.
Serve warm.


These are not very sweet so add extra sweetener if you like to your desired taste.


*I’m in maintenance and watch calories as well as carbs now. So am doing 1/2 cream and 1/2 half and half. You can easily use all heavy cream if you don’t use half and half.
**I powder my splenda by putting in a baggie then roll a rolling pin over a few times.


Take into account I did not add nutritional information for the oil use for frying. I know it will add extra calories and grams of fat but just don’t know how to accurately account for it. I just feel it would be a minimal amount of oil absorbed so for me it’s not a big deal to add this to the information.
