Italian Apple Fritters

Ingredients

• 3 apples (peeled, grated on a box grater; avoid the cores)
• 1 lemon juice (juice of about one lemon)
• sugar (some; amount not stated)
• eggs (a few; amount not stated)
• milk (amount not stated)
• all-purpose flour (add enough to thicken the mixture; amount not stated)
• baking powder (a quantity is not stated)
• salt (a pinch)
• oil (for frying; amount not stated)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel the three apples. Grate them on a box grater, taking care to avoid the cores.

2. 2

   Add the juice of about one lemon to the grated apples.

3. 3

   Add some sugar and a few eggs, then add the milk.

4. 4

   Mix the apple mixture. It will look somewhat watery at this stage; this is expected.

5. 5

   Add the flour to thicken the mixture.

6. 6

   Add the baking powder and a pinch of salt.

7. 7

   Mix everything again until the batter looks sufficiently thick and cohesive.

8. 8

   Fry spoonfuls of the batter in oil. Work quickly because the fritters cook quickly.

9. 9

   Flip the fritters so they cook on the other side.

10. 10

    Remove the cooked fritters from the oil and toss them while they are still hot so the finishing coating sticks to them. The source does not identify the coating.

Notes

The source does not provide measurements for the sugar, eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, or frying oil, nor does it specify the frying temperature, cooking time, or the finishing coating that should stick to the hot fritters. These details should be determined before preparing the recipe.
