You know what they say, “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away.” Well, generally, I try my utmost best to incorporate a few of them in my weekly dietary intake. I store the fiber-filled fruits on my counter top or in eye-sight so that I can grab and go. I can’t say that I’m always overjoyed with all the buys that I garner.
I generally go for Gala types because of their heartiness. However, lately, I’ve been testing other types. For instance, at my last shopping trip I purchased some green delicious. They too are crispy and tartier than their Gala counterparts.
GREEN DELICIOUS APPLES
I guess that was why I decided to shred a couple and make apple fritters for breakfast. The other ingredients were:
Cinnamon (generous sprinkle)
Flour (1/2 cup) {whole-wheat/all-purpose]
Vanilla (splash)
Sour cream (1/2 teaspoon)
Salt (pinch)
Dark sugar (2 table-spoon)
Beaten egg
Squeeze of lime/lemon (to prevent browning) and for added flavor
Water (1/3 cup)
Oil for frying
Method:
Apples were thoroughly rinsed and then shredded on box grater.
Wet and dry ingredients were combined and made into a batter.Then, shredded apples were added and folded in batter.
In hot skillet, a drizzle of canola oil was added.
Fritters were fried until they were cooked on the internal and brown/crispy on the exterior.
Crispy apple fritters were served warm with a garnish of thinly sliced apple with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sprig of fresh mint.
