Apple Fritters

Yield: 6 servings

2 cups gluten-free pancake mix (we used Pamela’s Products Pancake Mix)
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 green apples
Canola oil
Confectioner’s sugar or vanilla ice cream for garnish

1. Cover a rack with paper towels. In a mixing bowl, prepare pancake mix according to package instructions. Add nutmeg and cinnamon to the batter.
2. In a large high-sided skillet, heat oil until it starts to glisten. While the oil is heating, core apples and cut into circular slices (no need to peel).
3. Dip each slice of apple into the pancake batter and then place into the hot oil. Cook until the slices of apple float and become golden brown. Remove from oil and dry on paper towel covered rack.
4. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and serve. Or serve topped with vanilla ice cream.
