Image via WikipediaI just looked in the cigar box I got from my Mom (La Corona Belvederes) that contains her recipes, some handwritten. As April 19, 2011 is the first day of Passover, I would like to share Mom's recipe for Apple Fritters, my favorite Passover dessert. It really brings back warm memories.Apple Fritters
3 tart apples (like Granny Smith), peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup Matzo Meal
3 large eggs, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons melted chicken fat (Schmaltz)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Mix all ingredients except apples, together in a large bowl. Mix well. Add apples.
Drop by large spoonfuls about the size of a Potato Latke, in hot oil, heated to 375 degrees and fry until golden brown. Drain on brown paper (or paper towels)
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture liberally, on both sides of warm fritters.
Good warm, good cold. Happy Passover (Pesach)
Enjoy
