Ingredients

• 4 whole Apples (firm, sweet variety like Gala or Fuji)
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 milliliters Milk
• 2 whole Eggs
• 30 grams Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 500 milliliters Oil for frying (such as sunflower or canola)
• 30 grams Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1 cm thick rings. Sprinkle the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and set them aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth and thick batter forms.

Step 5

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or pot to approximately 170°C (340°F). Test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and turn golden brown within 30 seconds.

Step 6

Pat the apple rings dry with a paper towel. Dip each ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully place it into the hot oil.

Step 7

Fry the apple rings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Dust the Oepfelbroeisi with powdered sugar and serve warm, optionally accompanied by vanilla sauce or ice cream.
