New Years Eve! As per tradition, it's the day to listen to the Top 2000 a.k.a. The Best (Dad) Music Ever and eat an appelbeignet or two:

Most Dutch people eat oliebollen, which are deep-fried scoops dough. Imagine if pancakes were spherical and deep-fried and a bit more bland and you're close to oliebollen. In my opinion not nearly as good as appelbeignets, which also have some dough but the main ingredients are apple and cinnamon and amazingness.

I hope everyone has a nice evening with as much artery-clogging food as mine!

Is that dough wrapped around a cored slice of apple by chance? Am I seeing that right?

Sort of, yeah. You cut an apple ring, add cinnamon to the ring and dip it in dough so it's covered. Then it is ready to be deep fried.

Here's what I had last night (times five)!

Ok, the side of my family from Austria used to make the exact same thing! It was one of my favorite treats my grandmother and mother made when I was little. So good...
