This is an old recipe fro the cooking classic book “Larousse de la cuisine”. I have seen my grandmummy and mummymake it again and again, until I learnt to do it myself. Nothing to do with a classic donut.This recipe is made of some crunchy apple slices surrounded by a thing fritter dough.

Serves 6 – 1 hour
