Vegan Apple Fritters

These vegan apple fritters are made with an authentic Italian recipe that has been passed around for generations. Of course, we tweaked it a bit to avoid eggs, and make it vegan. Our Italian apple fritters are light, soft, moist, crisp, and full of apple and cinnamon flavour. Try them dipped in our vegan custard for a sweet treat that is out of this world!
