- Add in milk, vanilla and egg or applesauce and fold in apples.
- Form batter into small fritters and place in pan generously coated with oil.

Notes
Make sure you have plenty of oil in the pan and heat up the pan first! Making the fritters smaller can also make them easier to flip and handle.
Chop the apples into small 1/4 inch pieces. Soak up some of their moisture with a paper towel.
My favorite gluten free flour to use for this is Bob's Red Mill Paleo Flour.
