Preparation of apple fritters without leavening
Let’s see how to prepare the fritters.
First of all, heat the water in a small pot and once hot, melt the butter with a pinch of salt. Once melted, remove the pot from the heat and pour in the flour all at once, put it back on the heat, and mix well with a spoon until the dough comes away from the sides. Let it cool slightly and then add one egg at a time, stirring vigorously, each egg must be well incorporated. At this point, peel the apples and cut them into cubes, put them into the prepared dough and mix well.
