Baked apple fritters: rolled in cinnamon and sugar
Apple rings in a light batter, with cinnamon sugar and vanilla cream
Hello food lovers,
when the days get shorter outside, we crave apples, cinnamon and vanilla. That's why today we're making apple fritters! Apple rings are wrapped in a light batter, baked in the oven instead of deep-fried, and then rolled in cinnamon and sugar while still warm.
They come with a vanilla cream that takes just a few minutes to prepare. Pure comfort!
This quantity makes 12 apple fritters.

To make sure they turn out perfectly
Gala apples are slightly sweet and hold their shape when baked, which makes them perfect for this recipe.
The cinnamon sugar sticks best when the fritters are still warm.
Add a tablespoon of sugar to the dough if you like it sweeter.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, traditionally these small cakes are deep-fried. Baked in the oven, they are lighter.
Yes, place the apple rings in the batter on a baking tray lined with baking paper. They will then be a little flatter.
Of course, a classic vanilla custard goes just as well.
