Apple fritters are a very popular traditional sweet in various Latin American cultures. Their origin dates back to the colonial era, where Spanish influence merged with native ingredients, giving rise to this delicious preparation. In different Latin American countries, these fritters have different names and variations; for example, in Mexico they are usually simply called "buñuelos," while in Colombia and Venezuela they are also known as "stuffed buñuelos" or with fruits, depending on the region. Although each country adapts the recipe according to its customs, the essence of this crispy and sweet dessert remains constant, making it a favorite at celebrations and family gatherings.

How to Make Apple Fritters
To begin, mix the dry ingredients, which are the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon, in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, add the milk and the previously chopped or grated apples, integrating all the ingredients well.
Combine this liquid mixture with the dry ingredients until a homogeneous batter is obtained.
Place a tablespoon of the mixture at a time into hot oil at 375 °F (approximately 190 °C) to fry them.
Fry the fritters until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the fritters and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve them dusted with powdered sugar and/or accompanied by maple syrup for an additional sweet touch.
