Baking fritters is something very typical for this season. And while I have still not much love for celebrating carnival, I like to bake fritters once in a while.

When baking apple fritters you can find two kinds of recipes in Germany: Some are baked with a yeasted dough only, while others use a additional layer of Pâte à Choux to keep the apple piceses fixed in the fritters.
