gluten-free-apple-frittersThese gluten-free apple fritters taste like a funnel cake, no joke! I normally try to limit my gluten-free treats because, well, they’re still treats. But it feels good knowing exactly what ingredients are included when I do decide to indulge myself, like with these apple fritters! Fresh apples and cinnamon combined with the funnel cake-ish taste, you seriously can’t go wrong with these. The perfect weekend treat while you sip your warm coffee on a cool, Fall morning.

I’m not a huge icing fan, so I chose to just sprinkle a little organic powdered sugar on these and it added just the right amount of sweetness. You might wonder what the difference is between organic powdered sugar and traditional powdered sugar and the difference is in the quality of ingredients. Organic powdered sugar uses organic cane sugar and tapioca starch where traditional powdered sugar uses white, bleached, refined sugar and corn starch. It’s all about the quality of ingredients we put in our bodies.
