Fried apples in batter
Apples fried in batter

- vegetable oil for deep-frying
- 100 g flour

- powdered sugar
- Peel the apples and cut into slices. Sprinkle with lemon juice, place on a plate, and soak in sweet wine or cognac to prevent the slices from falling apart.
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan. While the oil is heating, mix the flour and cornstarch together. Form a mound with a well in the center, then pour in the milk and egg whites. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes.
