Apple, Cheddar and Bacon Fritters in Caramel Sauce

By Susan52

Ingredients

• 1 pound apples, peeled, cored and shredded
• 1 cup aged cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
• 1/4 cup flour (or rice flour)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• salt and pepper to taste
• oil for shallow frying

Preparation

Step 1

Squeeze as much excess liquid from the shredded apples as you can in a tea towel. (Reserve and enjoy the fresh apple juice!)

Mix everything except the frying oil.

Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, add heaping tablespoons of the apple mixture, forming patties and fry until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side, before setting aside on paper towels to drain.
