Apfelküchle (German Fried Apple Rings)

• porções: 4 servings
• tempo ativo: 4 minutes
• tempo total: 10 minutes

Ingredientes

2 apples

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup milk

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

pinch of salt

1 large egg

1 cup oil (for frying)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instruções

Whisk the flour, milk, sugar and salt together in a mixing bowl. Add the egg and mix again until there are no lumps in the batter.

Core the apples with an apple corer or paring knife. Then peel the apples and cut them into 1/4 inch thick slices - be sure to cut horizontally across the core (so that there is a hole in the middle of the apple) and not vertically up and down the apple. Don't cut the slices thicker than this as otherwise the apples might not cook when frying.

Next, heat up the oil in a frying pan on medium heat.

Now, dip the apple slices in the batter and make sure both sides are coated well.

When the oil is hot (test this by dipping a wooden spoon into the oil - if there are bubbles forming around it, it's hot), remove the apple slices from the batter with a fork, let excess batter drip off the slices, and then place the slices one at a time into the frying pan. Don't overlap the slices when they fry - always fry them in batches to ensure the slices have room in your pan.

Fry the apple rings on medium heat for roughly 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Be careful when flipping the slices over at the halfway mark.

When done frying, place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together.

Once cooled slightly - but still very warm - coat the fried apple slices with the cinnamon-sugar mixture on all sides.

Enjoy these slices with whipped cream, ice cream, or on their own!
