Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup 100% hydration sourdough starter discard
- 2 apples sliced thinly and cored
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Cinnamon and sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the starter, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
-
Heat a large skillet with oil over medium-high heat until hot. You want about 1 inch of canola oil in the pan.
-
Slice the apples about ¼” thick – you should get about 6 slices from each apple. Then you can use a small round cookie cutter to cut out the core. An apple corer works, too!
-
Use a fork to toss the apples into the batter, coating evenly.
-
Carefully place a few apple slices (letting excess batter drip off before placing it into the oil) into the oil and allow to cook for 30 seconds – 1 minutes on each side. When it’s golden, flip and cook on the other side.
-
Place cooked slices on a wire baking rack to cool slightly.
-
While still warm, toss the cooked apple slices in the cinnamon sugar.
-
Enjoy!
