Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk slightly. Crumble the yeast into the milk, add a teaspoon of sugar, and let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Start mixing to form a dough.
3
Grate the apples and squeeze out any excess liquid to prevent the dough from becoming soggy. Fold the grated apple into the dough.
4
Knead the dough thoroughly for 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little more flour or milk to achieve the right consistency.
5
Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness. Use a glass or doughnut cutter to cut out circles.
7
Let the doughnuts rise for an additional 30 minutes to make them even lighter during frying.
8
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil to 340-355°F (170-180°C). Fry only a few doughnuts at a time to maintain the oil temperature.
9
Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove them and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
10
Dust the doughnuts generously with powdered sugar and sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon for an even more intense flavor.
11
Serve fresh, while the flavors of apple and cinnamon are in perfect harmony.
