Ingredients:
- 4 large apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add them to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Gradually add the milk to the batter, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should have a smooth consistency.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium heat. Make sure there’s enough oil to submerge the apple slices.
- Dip each apple slice into the batter, making sure it’s well coated.
- Carefully place the coated apple slices into the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them to ensure even cooking. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the Apfelküchle from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Repeat the process until all the apple slices are fried.
- Dust the Apfelküchle with powdered sugar while they are still warm.
- Serve the Apfelküchle warm as a delightful snack or dessert. You can also accompany them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy your delicious Apfelküchle! Guten Appetit!
