Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 (0.6 ounce) cake compressed fresh yeast
1 cup lukewarm milk
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 egg
3/4 cup dried currants
3/4 cup raisins
1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored and
finely chopped
1 quart vegetable oil for deep-frying
1 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
Directions:
Directions:
Break up the compressed yeast, and stir into the warm milk. Let stand for a few minutes to dissolve. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Stir the yeast mixture and egg into the flour and mix into a smooth batter. Stir in the currants, raisins and apple. Cover the bowl, and leave the batter in a warm place to rise until double in size. This will take about 1 hour.

Heat the oil in a deep-fryer, or heavy deep pan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use 2 metal spoons to shape scoops of dough into balls, and drop them carefully into the hot oil.

Fry the balls until golden brown, about 8 minutes. The doughnuts should be soft and not greasy. If the oil is not hot enough, the outside will be tough and the insides greasy. Drain finished doughnuts on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve them piled on a dish with more confectioners' sugar dusted over them. Eat them hot if possible. Enjoy!

Personal Notes:
My great grandma and grandma used to make Oliebollen all the time. I remember picking the raisins out of them when I was little so I just got the sugar coated cake part. I could not find Grandma's recipe anywhere but I couldn't leave these out. They are also known as Dutch Donuts. My grandma rolled each ball right out of the oil in granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar. Give either a try!
