Apple Dessert Recipes
When you think about the foods of Italy, you might not think of apples, yet Italy is one of the top five producers of apples worldwide. The area most associated with apples is Val di Non in the northeastern region of Trentino. But apples are also grown in Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Piedmont, and Campania. Apples appear in the local cuisine in a variety of ways, most commonly in desserts and cakes. These apple dessert recipes are a simply delicious treat for fall and winter.
Apple fritters are made from rings of fresh apples that are dipped in batter and fried. The result is a thin, crispy brown crust fritter that is filled with warm, soft apple.
