Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Apples (firm, sweet variety like Gala or Fuji)
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 milliliters Milk
- 2 whole Eggs
- 30 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 500 milliliters Oil for frying (such as sunflower or canola)
- 30 grams Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1 cm thick rings. Sprinkle the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth and thick batter forms.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or pot to approximately 170°C (340°F). Test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and turn golden brown within 30 seconds.
Pat the apple rings dry with a paper towel. Dip each ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry the apple rings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Dust the Oepfelbroeisi with powdered sugar and serve warm, optionally accompanied by vanilla sauce or ice cream.
