Zeapple Recipe
Hi Everyone, my family made an Italian treat always at Christmas. They were made with anchovies and some with raisins. They would fry them in oil and they looked like little balls. My mom is having memory issues an can't remember how to make them. Our family comes from Montefusco Italy and I was wondering If anyone had a recipe to offer me.

Re: Zeapple Recipe
In my family we had these at Easter without anchovies. My father made them with potato dough(I think) then fried them in oil & put powdered sugar on them
