Apple fritters are a quick dessert prepared during Carnival days, although in my opinion, they are good all year round.
Really simple to prepare, these fried apples originate from Trentino Alto Adige.
During Carnival we never miss out on fried sweets, they are really good, aren’t they? In my home, we usually prepare frappe or castagnole… and what do you prepare?

Ingredients to Make Apple Fritters
- 2 Apples
- 1 Lemon juice
- Sunflower oil (for frying)
- 1 Egg
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 2/3 cup Whole Milk (whole)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Vanilla
- 3 tbsp Powdered sugar
Preparation of Apple Fritters
First, prepare the batter by mixing the egg yolk with sugar, then gradually add milk and flour until all the quantity is used, then add vanilla and continue to stir until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Separately beat the egg white to stiff peaks and fold it into the batter with a spoon; place it in the fridge.
Now peel the apples, cut into slices about ¼ inch thick, and then remove the core with the appropriate tool, sprinkle the apples with lemon juice and mix a bit to ensure the juice covers all the slices.
Now heat the oil for frying, dip each slice in the batter, and cook in hot oil, turning once golden.
Drain on absorbent paper, once all are cooked, place them on a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
