Method

  1. To make the Baked Apple Fritters, start with the fruit itself: wash and peel the apples, remove the cores with an apple corer and slice them crosswise into slices of the same thickness.
  2. Once cut, put the apple pieces in a bowl with lemon juice and water to keep them from browning. Now make the batter for the fritters. In a bowl, beat the milk with the egg using an electric mixer, then add the flour, the baking powder and the vanillin without ever stopping the beaters, and finally add a pinch of salt and the grated lemon zest as well.
  3. Keep mixing until the batter is smooth, thick and free of lumps. At this point, drain the apples from the juice they were soaking in, pat them dry with paper towels and dip them in the batter you made.
  4. Arrange the apple slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then bake at 170 °C (340 °F) for about 20 minutes, or until the fritters are perfectly golden on top. Remember to turn them halfway through baking so they cook evenly. Once out of the oven, let the Baked Apple Fritters cool before serving them to your guests.
