Apple Fritters

Step by step

1. 1

   Peel and core the apples, then cut them into very small cubes and put them in a skillet.

   
2. 2

   Add the butter to the skillet and place over high heat, stirring. When the apples are well reduced, remove from the heat and set aside.

   
3. 3

   In a bowl, add the flour, the cinnamon and the baking powder, preferably through a sieve. Add the salt and combine these ingredients. Set aside.

   
4. 4

   In another bowl, add the egg, the sugar and the melted butter. Beat vigorously for a few minutes until it gains some volume, then add the reduced apple and keep stirring.

   
5. 5

   Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients, add beer or any carbonated beverage and mix until combined.

   
6. 6

   Heat oil until very hot and fry the fritters. Once they take on color, remove them and place on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
