Apples in Pajamas

Recipe View In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View In the same bowl, whisk in the eggs, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, milk, and water until the batter is smooth. The batter should be thick enough to adhere to the apple slices. If the batter is too thin, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. If the batter isn't sticking to the apples, lightly dust the apple slices with flour before dipping. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View In a deep, heavy skillet, heat approximately one inch of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (Heat-up time: 8-10 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully coat each apple slice with the prepared batter, ensuring it's fully covered. Gently place 4-5 battered apple slices into the hot oil at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. (Cook time per batch: 3-4 minutes)

Recipe View Fry the apple slices until golden brown on one side, then use tongs to flip them and continue frying until golden brown on the other side. (Cook time per batch: 2-3 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the fried apple slices and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (Drain time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View In a small bowl, stir together the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the fried apple slices while they are still warm. (Prep time: 1 minute)

Recipe View Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of crispy batter, tender apples, and warm cinnamon-sugar spice.
