Trivia

Apple fritters are a preparation found in different variations across many Italian regional cuisines, and are often enriched with the addition of cinnamon or a liqueur such as rum or Calvados in the batter, which combine very well with the flavor of apples. In addition to sweet versions, there are also savory variations that can be served as an appetizer.
