Ingredients

2 medium apples
100 grams plain / all purpose flour
1 pinch salt
125 ml water
3 teaspoons vegetable oil (15 ml)
⅓ cup caster / superfine sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
additional vegetable oil for shallow frying

Instructions

Peel and core apples. Slice each apple into rings about ½ - 1 cm thick. You should end up with about 6 rings per apple.
Whisk together flour, salt, water and oil to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
Place enough vegetable oil into a frying pan to create a 1cm layer of oil. Heat over medium heat.
Dip each apple ring in the batter and then allow excess batter to drip from the ring before placing into the heated oil.
Cook apple rings on both sides until a pale golden colour.
Remove from oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towel.
Toss in combined sugar and cinnamon and serve while still hot.

Tips:

Any apples make nice fritters, but ideally look for apples with a firmer texture so they hold their shape during frying. Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Braeburn, Jonathan and Golden Delicious are all recommended varieties for Apple Fritters.
