In a bowl, whisk together the egg, apple sauce, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a larger bowl, mix the flour, chai spice powder, baking powder, and brown sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix until combined, then gently fold in the apple chunks.
Heat a medium deep frying pan with vegetable oil to a depth of 3 cm and bring it to 180°C.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the batter and carefully drop it into the hot oil. Fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towel.
To serve, place two fritters into a bowl and top with a scoop of Coles vanilla bean ice cream.
