Calories 97kcal
Ingredients
- 3 Granny Smith apples cored and sliced into ½ cm rings
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 150 g tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 120 ml milk
- 2 tablespoon orange blossom water
- 1 egg
- 25 g butter melted
- oil for deep frying I used rice bran oil
- ⅓ cup pistachios roughly chopped or crushed in a mortar and pestle
- 2 tablespoon molasses pomegranate, for drizzling
Instructions
- Combine the sliced apples and a good squeeze of lemon juice in a container and set aside.
- In another bowl mix together the tapioca flour, baking powder, milk, orange blossom water and egg until well combined. Finally, add the melted butter and whisk through. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a medium tall pot and allow it to reach 180 deg C. (I used a thermometer to get this right!)
- Once the oil is heated, very carefully dip an apple ring into the batter and cook in the hot oil for 2-3 mins each side until golden. Remove and place on a tray lined with kitchen towels. repeat until all rings are cooked. (I cooked a maximum of 3 at a time to stop the oil from cooling down too quickly).
- Serve the apple fritters with crushed pistachios and lightly drizzled with the pomegranate molasses.
