These Apple Pie Latkes with Vanilla Cream are the perfect combination of my two favorite comfort foods— apple pie and latkes. The Vanilla Cream takes it over the top!

8 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 apples peeled, cored and halved ttttt1 lemon, zested
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg beaten
- Vegetable oil
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 vanilla bean split lengthwise seeds scraped
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Apple Pie Latkes:
- Using a box grater, grate the apples into a medium bowl lined with paper towels. Gather tops of paper towel together, and squeeze out excess juice.
- Return apples to bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder.
- Add the flour mixture to the apples and toss until the apples are evenly coated. Add the beaten egg and mix until completely combined.
- Place a skillet over medium-high heat, and pour in vegetable oil until it reaches 1/2 inch up the sides.
- Once the oil is hot, place a heaping tablespoon of the apple mixture into the pan, slightly flattening the latke with the back of a spoon. Cook the latkes on their first side for about a minute or two or until golden brown.
- Carefully flip and cook the opposite side for an additional minute. Repeat the process with the remaining apple mixture.
- Vanilla Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream until it forms soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Keep beating until cream holds stiff peaks.
- Top warm latkes with a dollop of cream and serve.
Try a nice firmer apple, I like Granny Smith.
