Full Recipe: Semolina Apple Fritters

*Ingredients:*
2 medium apples (grated, skin on or peeled, approx. 400g)
5 tablespoons Semolina / Cream of Wheat (approx. 70-75g)
2 tablespoons Sour Cream or thick Greek Yogurt
1 Egg
Pinch of Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar (adjust according to apple sweetness)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Sugar (optional, or a pinch of Cinnamon)
Vegetable oil for frying

*Instructions:*
1. Grate the apples coarsely (leave peel on for extra flavor/texture).
2. Immediately mix the grated apples with the semolina to start the liquid absorption process.
3. Add sour cream/yogurt, egg, salt, sugar, and vanilla sugar (if using). Mix until just combined.
4. Let the batter rest for 10-20 minutes. The finer the semolina, the shorter the rest time required for plumping.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
6. Drop small amounts of batter into the pan, flattening them slightly to form pancakes/fritters.
7. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Serve immediately hot with toppings of your choice.
