🍎 Apple Latkes 🍎

Ingredients:

1 egg
2/3 cup plain yogurt
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup grated apple (I like granny smith)
Oil for frying
Maple syrup or confectioners' sugar and ground cinnamon for garnish

Directions:

In a bowl combine the egg with the yogurt and set aside. In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar. Peel and core the apples, then grate them; you can use a food processor. Pour egg-yogurt mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture, add grated apples and fold all the ingredients together. Pour enough oil to come about 1/4-inch up a skillet and put on stove to heat. Dollop spoonfuls of apple batter into sizzling oil; a rubber spatula -- the one you used to fold the batter together -- will help you scrape the batter off the spoon and press down on the little latkes in the pan. Fry for a minute or two, until latkes are golden brown on underside; you can see from the top as they start firming up underneath. Flip them with two metal spatulas, and fry for another minute on the uncooked side. Remove to tray lined with paper towels or brown paper, to blot excess oil, and continue cooking until you've used up all the batter. Serve with syrup or confectioners' sugar and ground cinnamon. Yield: about 20, 2-2 1/2 inch latkes.
