If you're craving something quick, tender, and fragrant, try these apple fritters. A simple set of ingredients, just a few minutes to prepare—and your table will be filled with fluffy, golden fritters that melt in your mouth. The step-by-step recipe was shared in the Facebook community Recipes by Viktoria.

Secret to perfect batter

You'll need:

3 eggs, 400 ml of kefir (2.5%), 250–270 g of flour, 100–150 g of sugar (depending on how tart the apples are), 1.5 tsp of baking powder, a pinch of salt, 4 medium apples, and a bit of oil or ghee for frying.

In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Then add the eggs and kefir, whisking well until the batter is smooth and lump-free. It should have the consistency of thick sour cream.

While the batter rests, prepare the apples. Firm, aromatic varieties work best for this recipe, as they hold their shape during frying and add a pleasant tang. Peel the apples and grate them coarsely directly into the batter, stirring after each one so they don't turn brown.

How to fry them to perfection

Heat a pan with a small amount of oil. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the pan and fry over medium heat on both sides until golden brown. To prevent the fritters from burning and to ensure they cook evenly inside, keep the heat moderate.

Serve the warm apple fritters with a spoonful of sour cream, honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

A simple, affordable, and tasty dessert that's sure to become your favorite autumn recipe.
