- Prepare the Apples:
- Peel and dice the apples into small cubes.
- Place the apple pieces in a bowl, sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning, and set aside.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add lemon zest and vanilla extract for flavor, then mix in the milk.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until you get a smooth batter.
- Gently fold in the diced apples.
- Fry the Apple Bites:
- In a large, deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
- Using a spoon, scoop small portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Remove the bocconcini from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve:
- Dust the warm apple bites with powdered sugar and serve.
Enjoy your bocconcini di ciambella alle mele warm for a cozy, comforting treat!
