Fried Apple Spirals

Who doesn’t love fried food. These fried goodies were a crowd pleasure taking 2nd place in the Sweet category. Congrats Ben!

Serves:  8

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Krusteaz belgian waffle mix
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• optionally, add in some cinnamon
• 4-5 Apples.  (Granny Smiths, work well.   Fujis are okay)
• fair quantity of canola oil for frying

 

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix the waffle mix, cinnamon, water, and sugar until smooth.
2. Heat oil in a deep fryer.  If you do not have a deep fryer, a reasonably deep skillet will work.
3. Spiral and peel the apples.  If you don’t have an apple spiraler (and, really, why would you?), then peel the apples, core them, and cut into slices about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Coat the spirals/slices in batter, and deep fry until golden brown.
5. Serve warm, preferably with honey for drizzling.
