Fry some apple fritters

I deep fry maybe once a year—it’s just not my thing. Over the entire holiday season, I had one dessert. So, yesterday, after a light day of eating, the logical thing seemed to be pancakes for dinner (calorie goals). But somehow, a pancake recipe search turned into a cinnamon roll pancake rabbit hole… which led to making apple fritters.

I tried John Kanell’s recipe, it's as easy as making pancakes, even for a novice deep fryer like me. I used GF flour and added a thin cinnamon glaze to cut back on sugar. The result? A simple yet elevated dessert that felt like a win.

Consider this my Foodie Friday atonement (a day late). Here’s a picture of my fritters—proof that sometimes a spontaneous foodie project can lead to something gratifying.
