Some fruits can be fried in the form of "beignets", which is fruit covered with batter and then fried. Apples are traditionally the most popular beignet recipe I think: "beignets aux pommes".

The typical beignets aux pommes are made with apple compote (apples slowly cooked in a pan with a bit of water until they become liquid).

I have never eaten beignets like that, where I'm from it's always a recognizable apple before it gets battered and fried (in thick slices if it's large or whole if small).

If I search for beignets aux pommes, the 1st, 2nd and 4th result is without compotes, just apple slices like I know them. The 3rd looks to be the compote version. Adding compote to the query finds recipes for "beignets a la compote de pommes", so I suspect that it's a regional thing that those are called apple beignets.

Always seen the compote ones around Paris, what's your region?

Then I guess it's the Belgian version.
