 Ingredients List

  • 1 Egg
  • 1 c Flour
  • 1/2 c Water
  • 2 Crisp apples
  • Oil for deep-frying
  • Syrup mixture

 Directions

1. Beat egg; then combine with flour and water to make a smooth batter.

2. Peel and core apples; cut each in 1/2-inch slices. Dip in batter to
coat.

3. Meanwhile heat oil; then deep-fry coated apples until pale golden. Drain
on paper toweling.

4. Prepare any of the syrup mixtures below. Then add deep-fried apples and
cook, stirring gently, to coat with syrup.

5. Rub a serving platter generously with peanut oil (to keep the fruit from
sticking). Transfer apples and syrup to the serving platter and fan a few
times to cool slightly.

6. Serve accompanied by a large bowl of water, containing ice cubes. To
eat: the diner picks up each apple slice with a fork, tongs or chopsticks;
and dips it briefly in the ice water to crystallize the sugar and thus
harden the syrup. (The fruit inside will remain warm.) VARIATIONS:

1. In step 1, prepare the batter by combining 2 egg whites, 2 tablespoons
flour and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.

2. Omit step 1. Instead dip apple slices in beaten egg; then dredge lightly
in flour to coat.

3. In step 4, add with the apples either 1 tablespoon chopped nutmeats or
black sesame seeds.

4. For the apples, substitute sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1/2- by
2-inch strips. Deep-fry these without batter. Add to the syrup as in step
4. Pick up steps 5 and 6. SYRUP MIXTURES FOR HONEYED APPLES:

a. Combine 1/2 cup sugar with enough peanut oil to moisten, and cook,
stirring, over low heat until the sugar dissolves and becomes syrupy. (You
may also add 1/4 cup light corn syrup.)

b. Bring to a boil, stirring, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water. Then stir
in 1 tablespoon peanut oil and cook over medium heat until the mixture
turns brown and spins a heavy thread when a small amount is dropped from
the tip of a spoon. (Add corn syrup as above.)

c. Combine 1/2 cup honey and 1/4 cup peanut oil and cook, stirring, over
low heat until the mixture is hot and syrup like.
