Welcome to the kitchen, today we are making Apfelküchel with vanilla sauce.

Start by preparing the vanilla sauce; heat milk in a saucepan until it boils.

Once the milk is boiling, slowly add in the vanilla sugar while whisking to avoid lumps.

Set the sauce aside to cool once it thickens.

Prepare the apples by removing the core and slicing them into approximately 1 cm thick rings.

To prevent the apple slices from browning, sprinkle them with lemon juice.

Mix flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and add them to the flour mixture to create a batter.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 170-175°C (340-350°F).

Dip each apple ring into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

Carefully place the battered apple rings into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown.

Remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on paper towels.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm.

Serve immediately, optionally with a side of vanilla ice cream.
