Instructions
-
Prepare the Apples:
Begin by washing and cutting the Fuji apples in half. Remove the cores and chop them into small cubes. Set aside. -
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, add the well-drained ricotta cheese, acacia honey, and the whole egg. Mix these ingredients until smooth. -
Add the Liquids and Baking Powder:
Pour in the milk and sift in the baking powder. Stir gently to combine, making sure there are no lumps. -
Flavor the Mixture:
Grate the zest of both the lemon and the orange into the mixture, giving it a fragrant, citrusy note. Stir again to incorporate the zests. -
Add the Apples:
Fold in the cubed apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. -
Heat the Oil:
Place a high-sided pan over medium heat and pour in enough seed oil to cover the base. Heat the oil until it reaches 130°C (265°F). -
Fry the Fritters:
Using a spoon, carefully drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil. Be sure to fry only a few fritters at a time to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 8 minutes, or until golden and crisp. -
Drain and Serve:
Once fried, remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Dust the warm fritters with sugar to taste, and serve while still hot. These fritters are perfect as a sweet treat to end a meal or as a delightful snack with tea or coffee!
