Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (any firm variety, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 450 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 30 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Peel the apples and core them. Slice each apple into thin strips, roughly 1/4-inch wide.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk until well combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the apple strips but still pourable.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Dip each apple strip into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
Carefully place the coated apple strips into the hot oil, working in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried apple strips to a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
If desired, dust the apple strips with powdered sugar while they are still warm.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, spiced Apple Strips!
