Ingredients
Apple Fritters with Almond Topping
- For the apples
- 3 large Apple (such as Boskop)
- 3 Tbsps lemon juice
- 1 Vanilla bean
- vegetable oil (for frying)
- For the batter
- 2 eggs
- 150 grams Pastry flour
- 120 milliliters milk
- 50 milliliters mineral water (carbonated)
- 2 Tbsps vegetable oil
- 1 tsp Lemon peel
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 Tbsps sugar
- 100 grams slivered almonds
- fine sugar (for dusting)
Rinse the apples, peel, remove the core with a corer and cut the apples into slices about 1 cm (approximately 1/4 inch) thick. Immediately sprinkle with lemon juice. Cut the vanilla pod in half and scrape out the seeds.
Heat the frying oil to 160°C (approximately 325°F). For the batter, separate the eggs. Mix the flour with milk, sparkling water, oil, egg yolks, the vanilla seeds and lemon zest. Whip the egg whites with salt and 2 tablespoons sugar until stiff and fold into the batter. Place the almonds on a plate.
Dip the apple slices consecutively in the batter, coat one side in the almonds, and fry in portions until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with sugar and serve hot alongside rich vanilla ice cream.
