Late September is the height of apple season: there are apples in the orchards and at every market. Some will go into compote and apple cake, and a few can become fritters for a Sunday breakfast.
The recipe for these apple fritters was shared by the Polish food publication Kwestia Smaku.
The batter is made with baking soda, so there is no waiting for it to rise. All the attention goes to the apples: they are cut into thin slices and, in the pan, placed three to each fritter.
What you need
- apples — 2;
- milk — 200 ml (just under a glass);
- egg — 1;
- plain wheat flour — 150 g (1 glass);
- vanilla sugar — 1 tbsp;
- sugar — 1 tsp;
- baking soda — ½ tsp;
- for frying — clarified butter, coconut oil or another vegetable oil.
How to make them
1. Mix the dry ingredients. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the vanilla sugar, sugar and baking soda and stir.
2. Make the batter. Pour in the milk, add the egg and whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
3. Slice the apples. Peel the apples, cut them into quarters and remove the cores. Halve each quarter lengthwise, then cut crosswise into thin slices. Add the apples to the batter and stir.
4. Fry. Spoon about a tablespoon of batter and three apple slices per fritter into the hot fat. Fry for about a minute and a half, until golden.

If you have no time to slice the apples, Kwestia Smaku suggests simply grating them.
Last time in Tasty Bucha, we made aubergine and pepper that never saw a frying pan — an autumn starter that gets better overnight.
