My grandmother wasn't scared of fried food; several of my grandmother’s dishes that were my favorites were fried. These apple fritters were the most delicious desserts she could give us in winter. She used to prepare them for mid-afternoon tea or milk for children.Chilean Buñuelos de Manzana Apple Fritters

In these 12 years of living in the US, I had never done this family recipe. I loved it when my kids liked one of my old Chilean family recipes, and these apple fritters were not only liked, they loved them, and they even demanded them to be added to the Thanksgiving menu. The food memories get passed on, even when living in a different country.

    Soy chilena y eso jamás lo he visto en la comida tradicional chilena. Es más. Viviendo en Alemania recién los vine a conocer las manzanas fritas (que están buenísimas!), pero que nada tienen que ver con chile.

      En mi familia y varias otras en Rancagua eran populares, la comida en Chile varia mucho según región, ciudad por la disponibilidad de ingredientes. En Rancagua siempre había mucha abundancia de frutas y se preparaban de muchas maneras. Yo crecí en los 80's.
