Activate the yeast

• Mix the warm milk, yeast and a little of the sugar.
• Let sit until foamy.

Make the dough

• Stir in the eggs and the remaining sugar, then add the flour and salt.
• Mix until a dough forms, then knead in the softened butter until smooth.

Let the dough rise

• Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled.

Cook the apple filling

• Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat.
• Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Cook until tender and the juices thicken, then let cool completely.

Fill and shape the fritters

• Roll or flatten the risen dough into a rectangle.
• Spread the cooled apple mixture over it, fold the dough over and gently flatten.
• Cut into smaller pieces and toss gently to distribute the apples without kneading, then divide into portions and shape into fritters.

Rest the fritters
