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.

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.

Instructions

Heat the oil in a pot with high walls and fill with 3 cm or 11/2 inch of oil. Must reach a temperature of 325F or 165C
In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
Peel and slice the apples.
Add the cream and ½ cup of milk to the flour. Mix well; you want a thick batter. If it is too thick, add a little more milk. Test with one apple slice.
Fry 3-4 slices simultaneously, no more. About 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Turn, repeat.
Remove to a plate with paper towels. Serve immediately.
