If you are looking for a Fall treat sans pumpkin, stop right where you are! These Paleo Apple Cider Fritters are the answer and they couldn’t be easier!
So you can’t do pumpkin everything you say, I get it. When the leaves turn, I am probably most excited about leggings, Uggs and fires in the fireplace, and least excited about the onslaught of PSL enthusiasts. Don’t get me wrong, I can hit a stack of my PUMPKIN PANCAKES or LOAF but I can also empathize with people who are less jazzed.
So today I got real excited when I realized that it was 2 days from October and apple cider is back on store shelves begging to come home with me. Mind you, I don’t actually like hot apple cider so much, but all the things you can make with it?! Yes! I immediately saw it at my local store and thought, apple cider fritters, so today I made it happen.
What are your favorite Fall-inspired recipes? Are you a pumpkin person or are you basically just holding out until Easter candy rolls around again? I know, hard call. Let’s make a batch of my GENERAL TSO’S MEATBALLS AND RICE and discuss further, shall we? Glad we can at least agree on that!

Is one bag of the mix equal to one dry mix of the recipe?
Yes!
K- I love this recipe! But…(you knew it was coming) do you think it may work to bake these as mini muffins? I treasure my avocado oil and can’t imagine using so much to fry with. ? I know the taste won’t be the same (duh), but just wondering if the batter would work. Also, what do you do with the oil after frying things? Do you strain it and keep it to reuse? Just curious. Thanks for another great recipe! Living in South FL, the only fall feeling I will be getting will come through my taste buds. ?
