Melt-in-the-mouth apples wrapped in a crispy gluten free batter and covered with cinnamon sugar. Can you think of a better autumn treat?
Beignets aux Pommes, or Apple Fritters, are a slightly healthier and much easier to prepare take on fried doughnuts. No yeast or waiting for the dough to rise, just mix up the ingredients, fry and enjoy! This beignets recipe uses gluten free flour so that no one is deprived the delight of digging into these on a crisp autumn afternoon. Sweet, succulent and most definitely moreish. There is a reason they are the favourite after-school snack of French children and parents alike!
