The Apfelküchle is a traditional German pastry, consisting of sliced apples dipped in batter and fried to a golden-brown color. It is popular in Baden-Württemberg, a federal state in southern Germany. The Apfelküchle has spread throughout Europe and the US. It is similar to an apple fritter but is made more like a pancake, and can be prepared in several ways. While it is traditionally eaten as a complete meal, because of its sweet taste, Apfelküchle has also become popular as a dessert.
