Apple Pancake Fritters

I went over to my friend, Shane's, house again (from @sfeatsinsf) for a sweet Rosh Hashanah moment in the kitchen. We wanted to honor the apples and honey tradition with these Apple Pancake Fritters but did it a bit different and brought in the sweetness of date sugar and date syrup instead of honey. We riffed off Kale Junkie's apple pancake dipper recipe with our own gluten-free and refined sugar-free pancake recipe and added some cinnamon to the batter. Were they as pretty as Kale Junkie's? No, they were not. Did we have a great time making them? Yes, we did. These tasted glorious and are perfect for Rosh Hashanah - or frankly any moment you want to steep in the autumn vibes. Shana Tovah!
