Today I propose a very popular carnival recipe from Italian lands: Apple Fritelle: Apple slices, battered with a dough with a flavor similar to that of wind fritters. As you can see, it is a very simple and very economical recipe, but the apple-cinnamon duo needs almost nothing else to succeed.
Last year I already told you a little bit in this article about carnival in Rome and some of the traditional sweets with which they celebrate the beginning of Lent. This year I wanted to post the recipe for castagnole, but since they are basically the same as our Lenten fritters, in a simple version, I thought you would probably like something a little more “exotic”, even if it is still a fried sweet, made with ingredients that anyone has very close at hand.
I hope you like them as much as we do. Happy carnival!
