Instructions for Cheese Fritters
1. Prepare the Apples
Begin by cutting the apples into small, even pieces to ensure consistent cooking.
For extra crispness, soak the chopped apples in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps improve texture and results in a crunchier finish.
2. Season the Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, and finely chopped cilantro. This seasoning blend adds flavor throughout the fritters.
3. Add Cheese
Add the apple pieces to the seasoning mixture and stir until evenly coated.
Next, mix in the mozzarella cheese, making sure each piece is well covered to achieve a rich, melty result.
4. Fry Until Golden
Heat cooking oil in a frying pan or on the stovetop to 180°C (350°F).
Carefully add the coated apple pieces to the hot oil, working in batches to prevent sticking.
Fry for about 7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of the pieces.
5. Serve
Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
