Hungarian apple fritters🇭🇺

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the apples
    • Slice apples into rings (about ½ inch thick).
    • Sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Make the batter
    • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
    • In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla.
    • Combine wet and dry ingredients into a smooth batter (should be slightly thick, like pancake batter).
  3. Dip & Fry
    • Heat oil in a deep pan (medium heat, about 170–175°C / 340°F).
    • Dip each apple ring into the batter, letting excess drip off.
    • Fry until golden brown on both sides (about 2–3 minutes per side).
  4. Drain & Dust
    • Remove fritters and place on paper towels.
    • Dust generously with powdered sugar and cinnamon.

Serving:

  • Best enjoyed warm with a dusting of sugar.
  • For extra indulgence: serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with honey.

Would you like me to also include the Hungarian-style version where grated apples are mixed directly into the batter (like almás palacsinta), instead of using apple rings?
