Apple Fritters (sourdough)

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups diced apples (preferably a firm variety such as granny smith)

1 cup sourdough starter

¼ tsp. sea salt

½ tsp. cinnamon

¼ tsp. baking soda

(maybe add some sugar to sweeten the sourdough?)

1-2 cups coconut oil, lard, or tallow for frying

INSTRUCTIONS:

Place diced apples in a large bowl. Pour in sourdough starter slowly, mixing it into the diced apples as you go. The starter should envelop the apples but still remain thick. If this hasn’t yet been achieved, add a bit more sourdough starter.

Sprinkle in salt, cinnamon, and baking soda, and mix to combine.

Allow mixture to rise a bit while heating the fat in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.

Gently drop large tablespoons of batter into fat. Fry for approximately 3 minutes per side until golden. Flip and fry another 3 minutes or until golden.

Remove to a rack to cool/dry.

Drizzle with honey and dust with powdered sugar.
