What would Carnival be without fried desserts? Today we want to offer you a variation of a recipe that you will all have tasted at least once: apple fritters.

Preparation

How to make chopped apple fritters recipe

1

First, peel the apples , remove the core and cut them into half-centimeter cubes. Sprinkle them with lemon juice to prevent them from blackening and keep them aside.

2

In a bowl, combine the flour , baking powder , sugar and a pinch of salt . Mix quickly then add the egg first and then the milk . We advise you to add it little by little in order to obtain a dense but fluid consistency. Finally, flavor with grated lemon zest .

3

Now all that remains is to add the apples and mix so that they are distributed in the batter.

4

Heat a pan with at least 3 inches of seed oil, bringing it to 170°C-180°C . Once at temperature, take a spoonful of dough and, using another spoon, drop it into the boiling oil. Fry 3-4 pancakes at a time to prevent the oil temperature from dropping excessively.

5

Turn them from time to time so as to obtain uniform browning , then drain them with a slotted spoon and pass them on absorbent paper. Complete with a sprinkling of icing sugar (or pass them in granulated sugar while they are still hot) and serve.

Here is a short video with all the steps to make them and give you an idea of ​​the consistency the batter should have.

A very simple variant is obtained by adding about 50 g of sultanas to the batter, rehydrated in warm water for 30 minutes and then squeezed. Apple and raisin pancakes are perfect for a snack or a tasty snack.

If, however, you don't want to give up the goodness of this Carnival dessert and are looking for a way to make it lighter, we recommend trying the apple fritters in the air fryer .

Conservation

It is best to taste freshly made pancakes to fully appreciate their consistency. However, if you have any leftovers you can store them in a food bag for a couple of days .
