Apple Coconut Fritters
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled lightly

Instructions
Dairy-Free Dulce de Leche
  1. Add the milk beverage, brown sugar and salt to a medium non-stick saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so the milk beverage is at a constant low boil (without boiling over). Stir often with a wooden spoon and continue to cook until it is thick and reduced to ¾ cup, about 40 to 50 minutes.
  2. Transfer the dulce de leche to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
Coconut Apple Fritters
  1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ½ cup of the coconut flakes in a large bowl.
  2. Whisk together the eggs, coconut oil, milk beverage, and ¼ cup of the dulce de leche in another bowl.
  3. Add to the flour mixture along with the apples and stir until it just comes together.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a 9-inch cast iron skillet until it reaches 350ºF. Drop ¼ cup measure of batter into the oil and fry for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter.
  5. Let the fritters cool for 5 minutes.
  6. Drizzle coconut dulce de leche on top of the fritters and sprinkle remaining ½ cup coconut flakes. Serve immediately.
