Crispy Apple Oat Fritters Recipe 465

Steps:

• Whisk 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon in a shallow bowl; set aside. Fit a large pot with thermometer and pour oil to measure 3". Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 375. Meanwhile, pulse oats in a food processor to a coarse powder. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk in rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Whisk in egg and 1/2 cup club soda, adding more soda by the tablespoonful until the consistency of pancake batter. If the batter thickens as it sits, thin with more club soda. Working in batches and maintaining oil temperature, dip apple rings in batter and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate; let drain briefly, then toss in reserved cinnamon sugar.

• Stir in apple, vanilla and flour.
• Drop mixture by teaspooonfuls into hot oil. Fry until brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
