Apple Ricotta Fritters

Peel the apple, quarter it, remove the core and cut into small dice.

In a bowl, beat together the ricotta, egg, sugar, vanilla sugar and rum until smooth.

In a second bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and cinnamon well.

Add the flour mixture to the ricotta mixture and stir or briefly knead into a smooth batter.

Finally fold in the apple dice.

Heat about 1 liter of oil in a pot to approximately 180 °C.

Use two teaspoons to scoop small quenelles and fry them in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until golden brown.

Let the fritters drain on kitchen paper and dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
