A recipe for apple fritters by creator Valechecucina, made together with her mother. It makes a large quantity (about 10 people). The apples are thinly sliced, drizzled with liqueur (amaretto or Marsala), and combined with a thick batter; the fritters are fried in plenty of hot oil and coated in granulated sugar.
Peel the apples and slice them very thinly. Drizzle with amaretto (or Marsala) and set aside.
In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the sugar, the pinch of salt, and the lemon zest.
Add the milk and oil in a thin stream, then incorporate the flour, baking powder, and baking soda until you get a smooth batter.
Remove the excess liqueur from the apples and set it aside; you may use it if needed to adjust the batter consistency.
Pour the batter over the apples and mix with a spatula. If the batter is too thick, add some of the reserved liqueur until you reach the desired consistency: thick but not too thick.
Heat plenty of oil in a deep pan or fryer to 150-180 °C.
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, fry until golden on one side, then turn them and cook on the other side until golden and cooked through.
Drain the fritters with a slotted spoon on paper towels and, while still warm, coat them in granulated sugar. Serve warm.
