How to Cook Crunchy Pineapple Fritters

I am a chef on a luxury world cruise liner. I love to cook and write recipes that are inspired by foods from all over the world.

Fritters are deep-fried snacks that usually consist of batter-coated meat, seafood, vegetables, or fruit. Their flavor may be savory or sweet. In this recipe, I'm sharing my all-time favorite way to prepare canned pineapple slices. This juicy and crunchy pineapple fritter recipe flavored with cinnamon sugar is a dish that everyone can enjoy as a simple snack or dessert.
