I have found so many apple fritter recipes, but these have a particularity that sets them apart from the others. I wanted a more pronounced, more decisive taste that would enhance the apple flavor without covering it. That’s how my Baked Apple Fritters with Lemon Batter were born; try them, they are unique.

Difficulty: Easy
Cost: Very cheap
Preparation time: 20 Minutes
Portions: 6/7 people (about 14 slices)
Cooking methods: Stovetop
Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

1 lemon juice
1 lemon zest (grated)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 apples

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk the egg with the sugar.
Then add the juice of one lemon (about 2.5 oz) gradually while continuing to whisk.
Now add the grated zest and mix well.
Add the sifted flour with baking powder and keep mixing with the whisk.
You will obtain a smooth batter, not too liquid, without lumps.
Peel the apples, remove the core with an appropriate tool.
Cut them into slices about 1/4 inch thick; I got about 7 per apple, but it really depends on their size.
Put the apple slices in the batter, turn them with a spoon and cover them well.
Transfer them onto an oven tray covered with baking paper.
Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes on the second shelf from the top.
They should become golden on the surface.
