Today I want to share with you a delightful recipe for Apple Pecan Fritter Bites. These little treats are not only dairy-free but also incredibly tasty!
The glaze on these fritter bites is optional. My boyfriend, who is diabetic, prefers them without the glaze. Me? Well, I have a sweet tooth, so I love the glaze! You can try them both ways and savor the deliciousness.
If you want your fritter bites to be larger, simply drop them by a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon. According to my daughter, they taste a bit like funnel cake, which is a classic treat we always enjoy when we visit Santa Cruz or go to the fair.
So, if you’re in the mood for something sweet and scrumptious, give these Apple Pecan Fritter Bites a try. I guarantee you’ll be hooked! Just a heads up, though – when I made the first batch, it disappeared in minutes! I had to make another one just for these pictures on my blog. That’s how irresistible they are!
