Cinnamon sugar apple fries with toffee sauce

Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

  • APPLE FRIES

  • 2 Golden Delicious apples
  • 100g cake flour
  • 2,5ml (½ tsp) baking powder
  • pinch ground ginger
  • 2,5ml (½ tsp) ground cinnamon
  • pinch salt
  • 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla essence
  • 250ml (1 cup) water
  • canola/sunflower oil, to deep-fry

  • CINNAMON SUGAR

  • 25ml (5 tsp) ground cinnamon
  • 100g castor sugar
  • store-bought toffee/caramel sauce, to dip

Instructions

1

Peel and core the Golden Delicious apples, then slice each one into thin wedges (16 wedges per apple). Combine the cake flour, baking powder, ground ginger, the 2,5ml (½ tsp) ground cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl, and whisk to remove any lumps. Pour the vanilla essence and water into the dry ingredients, and whisk until smooth and combined.

2

In a deep fat fryer or large, deep pot, heat the oil to 180˚C. Use a sugar thermometer to check the temperature of the oil if using a pot. Dip each apple wedge into the batter and fry in the hot oil in batches (so as not to crowd the fryer/pot), about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

3

Combine the 25ml (5 tsp) ground cinnamon and the castor sugar in a medium bowl, and toss the freshly fried apple wedges in the cinnamon sugar. Serve hot, with toffee or caramel sauce for dipping.
