About Apfelküchle
Bake to the roots shares Swabian Apfelküchle through the author's memories of his mother's cooking. Thick apple rings are coated in batter and fried, recalling a sweet dish once served at home in place of a savoury meal.
Separated eggs give the milk and flour batter its texture, with beaten whites folded in before frying. Clarified butter cooks the rings until both sides turn golden.
The fritters are rolled in cinnamon sugar while hot and served warm with homemade vanilla sauce. A spoonful of red fruit jelly is an optional fruity accompaniment.
