Ecomely’s estimate, calculated from the ingredients with the ANSES Ciqual food composition table, excluding sides and seasoning added to taste.

Instructions

  1. Peel the apples, remove the core with an apple corer and cut them into rings about 5 mm thick.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, sugar and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add the sifted flour and baking powder and mix until you have a smooth, runny batter, slightly thicker than pancake batter.
  4. Heat the oil in a deep pan to 170 °C; a drop of batter should sizzle and rise straight back up.
  5. Dip each apple ring in the batter, let the excess drip off and drop it into the oil.
  6. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side until a nice golden colour, then drain on kitchen paper.
  7. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the fritters while they are still warm.

Variations and tips

Oven-baked version. Pour the batter into an oiled muffin tin with an apple ring in the centre and bake at 180 °C for 20 minutes.
