Anleitung
Prepare the apples
Peel, core and cut apples into finger-thick slices.
Marinade with lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar and rum. Cover and let rest while you prepare the batter.
Mix the batter
Mix all ingredients except egg whites.
Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the batter by hand (without a mixer). That is, gently mix into the rest of the batter, and don't mix too quickly or vigorously to maintain volume (and fluffiness).
The batter will also work without beaten egg whites. In that case, just add the whole egg to the dough and mix. However, then the dough will not be quite as voluminous and fluffy.
Bake the apple slices
Heat the oil in a saucepan. The fat is hot enough when it starts to sizzle as soon as you put a drop of water or the handle of a wooden spoon into it.I also recommend opening a window and turning the steam vent to full blast, the smell from baking can be very intense. ;)
Dip apples into the baking batter with a fork, grilling tongs or similar. Drain briefly and bake in the fat until crisp.
Place on a rack or kitchen paper to drain the fat.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve when still warm. Mahlzeit!
Notizen
The apple slices can be served as a dessert or as a main meal. Then the recipe is enough for about 4 people.
The batter can also be used for pear, apricot, peach wedges or prunes!
