Trust me, even the choosiest people can't resist this delicious dish!

There's nothing quite like indulging in a tasty treat without the guilt, and that's exactly why I love these low-carb baked apple fritters. Growing up in the Midwest, apple fritters were a staple at every fall gathering. These fritters are a healthier twist on the classic, perfect for anyone looking to keep things light while still enjoying a bit of comfort food. These are fantastic for a weekend brunch or a quick weekday snack that doesn't derail your diet.

These fritters are best served warm and can be paired with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a side of scrambled eggs for a balanced breakfast. If you're looking to make it a more decadent dessert, a light drizzle of sugar-free caramel sauce would perfectly complement the warm apple flavors. Enjoy them with a hot cup of coffee or herbal tea to round out the experience.

Servings: 8

1 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium apple, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

5. Fold in the diced apple and erythritol.

6. Use a spoon to scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds.

7. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritter shapes.

8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Allow the fritters to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

You can switch up the flavor by adding a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the batter. If you're not a fan of erythritol, feel free to use any low-carb sweetener you prefer, but just be sure to adjust the quantity according to the sweetness level. For an additional crunch, throw in some chopped pecans or walnuts. And if you're really feeling adventurous, try making these with different types of fruit, like pears or berries!
