Aren't these croquettes shaped like apples cute? My husband and I came up with them together.
But since it'd be a shame if they were just shaped like apples, we added plenty to the mixture as well.

It's autumn! There's a variety of apples, and so it's fun to compare the taste. Recipe by Honeri

Steps

1

Cook the apples and onion and mash while simmering. Grating them is also fine, but I don't recommend it since it produces too much liquid.
2

Add the ground pork, soy sauce, and sugar, and sauté for a while.
3

Boil and mash the potatoes. After a substantial amount of the liquid has evaporated from the apple mixture, stir in the potatoes. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into apple-like balls.
4

Coat the croquette balls in the flour, beaten egg, and panko, then reshape. Make the indentations using chopsticks and your fingers.
5

Deep fry them in plenty of oil (over medium heat). Deep fry the burdock root cut into stem-like matchsticks, and set them into the croquettes.
6

Kids will love these with an apple-based sauce, made from boiling down a mixture of 1 tablespoon grated apple, 1 tablespoon honey, and 4 tablespoons Japanese Worcestershire-style sauce to a thick sauce.
