Apfelradln is a traditional dessert made by deep-frying apple rings. It is typically served for breakfast or eaten as an afternoon treat. This comforting dish is prepared by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples into rings, then dipping the rings into a simple batter made with eggs, flour, and milk.
Some versions also include a small amount of various alcoholic drinks in the batter - beer, white wine, brandy, or rum. The battered apple rings are deep-fried until golden brown, then topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Apfelradln is a favorite dessert among children and has been a staple of Austrian cuisine for generations.
