Step 1:

Gather the ingredients. Use juicy, sweet apples for these fritters. Take the kefir and egg out of the refrigerator ahead of time so they come to room temperature.
Step 2:

Wash the apples, peel them, and remove the cores. If they're fresh with tender skins, you can leave the peel on — it just adds vitamins and nutrients. Grate the apples on a medium grater. Or chop them finely with a knife; that way you'll notice them in the batter with a pleasant crunch, and you won't lose a drop of juice the way you do when grating.
Step 3:

Put the grated apples in a bowl. Add sugar to taste and a pinch of salt.
Step 4:

Crack in one egg.
Step 5:

Stir the mixture until the egg is blended in and the sugar and salt have dissolved.
Step 6:

Pour in the kefir and stir.
Step 7:

Add the flour and half a teaspoon of baking soda to the apple mixture and stir. The batter should have the consistency of thick sour cream.
Step 8:

If you want the fritters extra thick and fluffy, add a bit more flour. Once the batter starts to bubble, let it rest on the counter for twenty minutes — it will thicken a little more.
Step 9:

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the pan to form small round fritters. A heavy-bottomed skillet with a lid works best — covering the pan while they fry helps them rise and cook through. Fry over medium heat until golden on the first side.
Step 10:

Then flip and fry about 3 minutes on the second side until golden as well. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel to drain off the excess oil. Arrange the apple fritters on a plate and serve with sour cream, jam, condensed milk, or simply with tea or coffee. Enjoy!
