On 01/11
is German Apple Day.
The apple is one of the most popular local fruit varieties in Germany.
Reason enough to dedicate a nationwide holiday to it and to share some facts about the fruit with you.
Are you ready?
There are more than 30,000 apple varieties worldwide, around
2,000
of which come from Germany.
With a share of around 20.8 percent,
Elstar
is one of the most important apple varieties for agriculture in 2021/22 .
Far behind
are Braeburn
(10.6%),
Red Prince
(10.3%) and
Gala
(8.3%).
On average, everyone eats around
25 kilograms
of apples per year, whether as juice, cake or pure.
Apples belong to the
rose
family 🌹.
Apples help other fruit ripen because they release the plant
enzyme ethylene
.
So always store separately.
The apple was considered a token of love
in ancient Greece
and was presented with a marriage proposal.
The list could go on, but you're probably here for our delicious Apple Pie recipe, right?
That's how it's done:
You only need a few ingredients:
Dough:
160 grams of wheat flour
150ml milk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 packet of vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon Baking powder
0.5 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch of salt
600 grams of apples
800 ml frying oil
Besides that:
powdered sugar
Vanilla sauce
The preparation is simple:
Sift wheat flour into a mixing bowl.
Add the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, baking powder and salt and mix with the beaters of a hand mixer to form a homogeneous dough.
Put aside.
Wash the apples, peel as you like, remove the core with an apple corer.
Cut each apple into 2 cm thick slices.
Dip the apple slices into the batter so that the slices are well covered with batter.
Heat frying oil in a saucepan.
Fry the apple fritters in it until golden brown on both sides.
Drain on kitchen paper and immediately dust with icing sugar.
Serve warm with vanilla sauce.
Clean up!
Everything tastes better fried, right?
