Apple Fritters (Schwäbische Apfelküchle)

 

Preparation You'll only need: A large pan A bowl
Ingredients (for 2 persons) 3 apples (with a sour taste, such as this kind) 180 g flour 150 mL milk 2 eggs 35 g sugar 2 pinches of salt 2 Tbsp. of Grand Marnier (not Swabian, I stole it from the French cuisine) Sugar and cinnamon to sprinkle over the Apfelküchle Sunflower oil Optional: Whipped cream 100 mL cream (at least 30% fat) and 6 g icing sugar Before preparing the whipping cream put cream and whisk into freezer for 10 minutes. Put cream and sugar into bowl. First mix cream and sugar on low speed, after 1 minute go to maximum speed to whip the cream until stiff (takes several minutes). Don't whip for too long, only until the whipped cream reaches the right consistence.
Preparation Mix flour, sugar, eggs, salt, Grand Marnier and milk in a bowl. Peel the apples, remove the core and cut in rings, around half a centimetre thick. Dip the apple rings by portions into the batter and fry them on medium heat on both sides in sunflower oil until golden brown. Sprinkle the Apfelküchle with sugar and cinnamon, also whipped-cream goes well with it.
