Apple Fritters | The Whole Food Plant Based Cooking Show
I have fond memories as a child of enjoying a sweet and tart glazed apple fritter from the local donut shop but I also remember the sleepy sugar crash that would follow. This plant based refined sugar free recipe is a way to enjoy the delicious taste of an apple fritter without the hazy sugar crash. Perfect eaten alone or paired with a comforting warm drink.
