Preparation

How to prepare Apple Tortelli

To prepare the apple fritters, first peel the apple and cut it into small cubes. In a bowl, place the sugar and eggs 1. Whisk by hand 2, then add the apple cubes 3.

Add the flour 4 and sifted baking powder 5 to the bowl. Mix well to avoid lumps and to obtain a smooth mixture 6.

In a pot, heat the vegetable oil to a temperature of 320°F. Scoop the batter using 2 tablespoons to create small balls, then carefully drop them into the oil 7; to make it easier, dip the spoons into the hot oil first, so the batter slides off better. Fry 5-6 fritters at a time to avoid lowering the oil temperature too much, and fry for a couple of minutes, stirring often for an even golden color. Drain the fritters 8 and transfer them onto frying paper or absorbent paper to remove excess oil 9. Continue until all the batter is used; with these amounts, you'll get about 30 fritters.

Once they are slightly cooled, plate them 10 and dust with powdered sugar 11. Your apple fritters are ready to be enjoyed 12!

Storage

It's recommended to consume the apple fritters immediately. If necessary, you can store them at room temperature for one day in an airtight container.
