Time 1h

Yield 35-40 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup apple cider
3 firm tart apples
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
vegetable oil (for deep frying)
1 cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • In a blender or food processor, process the flour, salt, egg yolks, butter and cider. Process until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg whites.
  • Fold the flour mixture into the beaten egg whites, just until combined.
  • Peel and core the apples; cut into 1/4 inch thick slices.
  • Sprinkle the apple slices with lemon juice and toss with the sugar.
  • Heat 4 to 5 inches of oil in a large and heavy-duty saucepan over med.-high heat until the oil is hot enough to sizzle when a tiny bit of batter is dropped inches.
  • Dip an apple slice in batter - it should be evenly coated with batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Repeat with several more apple slices.
  • Carefully drop battered apple slices into the hot oil. Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until the apple slices are cooked through and the batter is puffy and golden. *Work in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan*.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Repeat until all apple slices are battered and cooked. Let cool., then sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
