Cooking time: 30 minutes
Prep. time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Yield: 25/30 slices
Ingredients:
- 3 apples (I like the Pink lady variety or green ones) – around 600gr in total
- 1 lemon or lemon juice (4/5 tablespoon)
- 2 eggs
- 180gr of milk
- 120gr all-purpose flour
- baking powder 8 g
- pinch of salt
- frying oil (sunflower seed, refined rapeseed or peanut oil)
- sugar 20gr
- cinnamon powder 5gr (I love it so I add more than this)
Steps
- Squeeze the lemon to obtain the juice, it helps to prevent the oxidation process
- Peel the apples by using a peeler and an apple corer
- Cut the apples into slices (about 5/7 mm thick depending on how you like them)
- Sprinkle the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent oxidation
- Whisk the whole eggs in a bowl and add milk
- Add salt, flour and baking powder
- Combine all ingredients until smooth and uniform
- Heat the oil in a large pan until 170° – don’t exceed this temperature or oil will burn
- Dip your apple slices into your batter allowing excess batter to drip off
- Fry few slices at a time into the preheated oil (not too many or the temperature will drop)
- Cook each side for 2/3 minutes until golden brown color is reached
- Lay slices on a tray lined with paper towels to drip excess oil off
- Mix cinnamon with sugar
- Sprinkle the slices with the flavoured sugar and serve hot
This is one of my favourite afternoon snacks: I love to prepare it when outside is cold but love to eat it all year long! Is not something I would do on a regular basis, though. You can use any type of apple you have or like or even use hard variety pears and pineapple.
