Apple Fritters

Hello everyone!

This morning we woke up to a thick blanket of snow! It’s not a surprise: winter is my favorite season! The snow covering everything makes me think of a warm blanket that protects nature from the cold of the night. And snow brings joy to children; I remember how much Silvia enjoyed playing and sledding in the snow! This morning, I saw the same joy in her eyes as when she was little! It brought back so many memories. How many fun rides on the sled with her shouting, “Don’t brake, don’t brake!” And then, to warm ourselves up, I would prepare a delicious snack with tea (mulled wine for me) and apple fritters! It was today’s sweet snack, and accompanied by a vanilla sauce or a scoop of ice cream, it will be one of the desserts of the coming winter! They are simple and quick, give them a try!

Method:

Let it rest for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, take the Val di Sole Renette apples (thanks, Adriana), peel them whole, remove the core, and slice them. If you want, you can let them infuse with a bit of lemon, rum, and cinnamon. I don’t do that, I just add a few drops of lemon to prevent them from browning.

I heat a generous amount of oil in a saucepan. When it’s hot, I dip the apple slices into the batter, let them drain slightly, and put them into the hot oil. As soon as they turn golden, they’re ready! I let them dry on paper towels and then sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon. I used powdered sugar, but I assure you they’re better if you use regular sugar!

Give them a try and let me know!!! Oh, I forgot! We always eat them all!!!!! ☃️🍏🎿
