Instructions
- Start by combining flour, sugar baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Then add milk, eggs and applesauce and mix everything together until blended. Next incorporate the apples into the mixture.

Notes
Here are some simple tips to adjust the Apple Fritters recipe so that it becomes gluten free:
Flour: Opt for a gluten free flour blend. Look for brands like Bobs Red Mill or King Arthur Flour that offer gluten flours that can be substituted 1:1 for flour.
Baking Powder: Make sure you are using gluten free baking powder. Most brands available in the market are already gluten free. It's always smart to check the label just to be safe.
Applesauce: While most applesauce brands are naturally free of gluten it's essential to read the labels and avoid any added ingredients or potential cross-contamination with gluten.
By following these tips you'll be able to enjoy delicious Apple Fritters without worrying about gluten!
