Steps for the preparation of apple fritters
Making the dough without the apple
Add two eggs in a bowl, followed by the two tablespoons of sugar and the tablespoon of vanilla essence. Next, and with the help of a manual whisk, mix the ingredients in the bowl until they are completely integrated.
Pour the glass of milk into the bowl with the ingredients, followed by a tablespoon of lemon juice and the zest of a lemon, to continue mixing until integrated.
Integrate the 2 glasses of all-purpose wheat flour into the bowl, followed by the two tablespoons of flour.
Add 15 grams of chemical yeast or baking powder. (This equals one tablespoon)
With the help of the rods, mix everything very well until you no longer have lumps in the dough. When you can no longer use the rods, incorporate a kneading paddle.
Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the dough and continue mixing.
Adding the apples to the dough
Peel the apples and grate them on the coarse side of the grater.
Each apple that you scratch add them immediately to the dough to prevent them from oxidizing. Then, continue grating the rest of the apples, and integrating them into the dough.
Ideally, the dough should be a little loose, but if you want the dough to be harder so that it is easier for you to handle, you can add a little flour and knead.
Fry the fritters
Place a wide skillet over medium heat on the stove and add enough oil, so it begins to heat up.
Test that the oil is hot and ready by adding a little dough and if it rises to the surface quickly, it will be an indicator that the oil is ready to cook.
With the help of a spoon, take a portion of the dough from the fritters and then, with the help of another spoon, move the content towards the oil.
Repeat the process of step 3 until you finish with the dough for the fritters. With this mix you can make fritters for 6 to 8 people.
When the fritters are golden brown on one side, flip them over, so they cook on the other side.
Once the fritters are golden on both sides, remove from the oil, drain off the excess and let them rest on a plate lined with absorbent paper.

Once the fritters are done, let them sit until they are no longer hot.
In a wide and deep plate or a tray, add the white sugar and cinnamon and mix them until they are perfectly integrated.
Pass each of the fritters and overflow them on both sides, and then leave it on another plate where you are going to serve.
Repeat the process of step 3 with each of the fritters.
Once they are ready, serve and enjoy.

Yes, you can store them in a bread bin or other tightly sealed container, but only for a couple of hours. However, after a few hours, they may no longer be crisp and unappetizing. However, they will still be soft and sweet.
