Yes, another apple fritter recipe. I only have four in this collection, so far. This one also comes from The Cookbook of Sabina Welserin, a German manuscript cookbook dated by her own hand to 1553. If you compare the three apple fritters from the manuscript you will find them to be quite different although each is yummy.

Apple Pillows

• 5-6 apples, peeled, cored and cut into quarters

• 1 cup sifted flour

• 2 eggs

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/2 cup water

• Fat for frying

Sift flour before measuring; blend flour, salt and water together, beat until it blisters, beat in eggs. Dip apple quarters in batter and fry until golden. Drain and serve warm.

140 Apple pillows

Take good apples, peel them and cut them into four pieces. Take flour, eggs and water and salt, make a batter, not too thin, pour the apples into it and put fat in a deep pan. When it is hot, put the pieces into the fat, until the cake rises, let it fry slowly.

Turn it, let it also fry on the other side, then it is good.
