Ingredients

20 pieces
Apples
  • 3-4 medium apples (preferably tart, such as Goudreinettes or Granny Smith)
For the batter
  • 240 ml milk
  • 200 g self-rising flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
For the cinnamon sugar
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
For frying
  • Sunflower oil or peanut oil (enough for deep-frying)

Equipment

  • Large frying pan

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • In a bowl, mix the milk, self-rising flour, egg, cinnamon, and salt until smooth. The batter should be thick, similar to pancake batter.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon to make the cinnamon sugar.
  • Heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 365 degrees Fahrenheit (185 degrees Celsius).
  • Peel the apples, remove the cores, and slice them into rings just under ½ inch (about 1 cm) thick.
  • Coat the apple slices in cinnamon sugar, then dip them into the batter.
  • Carefully lower them into the hot oil and fry for a few minutes, turning once, until golden brown on both sides.
  • Drain briefly on paper towels.
  • Roll in any remaining cinnamon sugar or dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
