These Gluten Free Baked Apple Fritters are the perfect gluten free snack for when you’re craving Doughnuts or if you want surprise someone special. Why would you deep fry doughnuts when you can bake them instead. Pretty well everything made in the deep fryer can be baked instead. It’s so much healthier and usually just as delicious. You don’t need a special doughnut pan to make this recipe either. All you need is a regular baking sheet.

Another Quick, Easy and Delicious Gluten Free Recipe that my family loves, which also happens to use Tea Biscuit Dough is these Gluten Free Tea Biscuit Cinnamon Rolls. They’re so quick and easy to throw together. They’ve been my go recipe for years.

      I rolled it out aprox. 10 to 12 inches 6 inches. It can be any size though, just enough to cover it with the pie filling.

    These may sound dumb but I have a couple of questions:
    1. Do you put the filling on only half the rectangle and then fold it over.
    2. Do you cut through the dough on top only or all over.
    Thanks for clarifying.

    Just curious about a binding agent. Does the dough stick together without xantham or guar gum?

      January 15, 2018 at 8:48 am

      Yes, the starch helps bind it. But you could definitely add a little xantham or guar gum if you prefer to use it.

    I made this but the dough turned out too loose. It just fell apart. I couldn’t fold the dough. I have a milk allergy so I substituted almond milk with vinegar for the buttermilk. Would that effect it that much?

    This looks delish and can’t wait to make it! When you cut the dough and divide into 8 and then make into balls how exactly do you do that? Maybe this is a silly question but I’m a little confused on it! Do you cut the dough into 8 sections? And how do you make into balls?

      Hi Lana, I cut the dough into 8 sections then made each section into a ball using my hands or a spatula. They were pretty messy but as long as they made a somewhat round shape they should work fine. Hope that helps.

    Today we made the apple fritters to celebrate my late husband and my sons father. Apple fritters were his favourite but we are gluten-free and haven’t been able to do our usual celebration (eat his favourites, watch his fave movie, listen to his CD’s). You made our day extra memorable! 💕. Also……These were sooo easy to make! Soo delicous! Thanks for the recipe!

    I made these for a party for the first time and they were a hit. The only substitution I made was coconut brown sugar in lieu of white sugar and doubled the batch. I used tapioca starch instead of corn starch and the rice flour was a bitl of a challenge to find at two of my “regular” markets but I was successful in finding it a Whole Foods. They were fantastic!

    I made these with Aldi brand GF biscuit/pancake mix. Followed their directions but added the cinnamon and sugar. The dough was really loose but turned out great. Mine made 12 biscuits instead of 8. 15 minutes was perfect amount of time.

    Thanks for the recipe! I’ve been craving fall baking and, in addition to my family following a gluten free diet, my son con’t have eggs, so I thought I’d give this recipe a try. A lot of GF recipes that i’ve tried that are also egg free often fall short for our family because they don’t bake through properly, so I must say this recipe definitely wins in that department. There was nothing gooey or gummy about the finished product, so I was really happy with that. The flavour is also really nice. My only let down was that these didn’t really feel like a fritter. They definately made a nice treat, but are much more like a sweet biscuit than a fritter.

    For those that read the reviews looking for what worked and what didn’t, here’s a quick description of the variations that I used: tapioca instead of corn starch, coconut sugar instead of white sugar, Earth Balance instead of butter, and almond milk mixed with vinegar instead of buttermilk.

    Can you substitute almond flour for the rice flour? If so, do I still need to use the corn starch? Thank you!

      Yes you can substitute almond flour for the rice flour. I would still use the corn starch but I’m sure it would work without if you don’t want to use it.
