Apple fritters, kudos to those who can resist. Quick to prepare, whether enriched with salami, cod, cheese, or even artichokes for savory varieties. My favorite fritters are sweet, enriched with chocolate, raisins, and especially apples. Fantastic invention, apples, they pair with any food, sweet or savory. A golden, crunchy sweet temptation with a soft apple-flavored heart. My apple fritters with added beer are even more crumbly, tastier, ideal during this carnival season, a festival dedicated to little ones (and not only, I add). To succeed with fried carnival desserts, the secret lies in the frying. Lard and butter are not suitable as they burn quickly. The ideal oils for frying are olive or peanut oil, as they withstand higher temperatures better. Do not use pans, but tall pots, and there must be plenty of oil.
