Recipe #1. Just caramel apples
Necessary products:
- apples (3-4 pieces),
- sugar - 150 grams,
- lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
Preparation:Wash and dry the apples thoroughly, insert wooden sticks (kebab skewers work great). Pour sugar into a saucepan, add lemon juice and put on medium heat. The sugar should dissolve slowly so that the caramel does not become too dark. As soon as the mixture turns into a thick honey-colored syrup, reduce the heat and begin dipping the apples in the caramel. Place the finished products on a plate greased with vegetable oil (otherwise the apples will stick). The dessert is ready. Enjoy. Note: you can add food coloring - you will get very bright and beautiful apples. A great dessert for a child's birthday.
Recipe #2. Chinese Caramel Apples
First option Necessary products:
- solid apples (4-6 pieces),
- lemon juice (1-2 tablespoons),
- flour (4 tablespoons),
- starch (1 tablespoon),
- proteins 2-3 eggs,
- 150 ml of milk,
- 1 cup of sugar,
- sesame
Method of preparation:Peel the apples, cut them, remove the seeds and sprinkle with lemon juice to preserve the color. Prepare the batter. To do this, mix the flour with the starch, pour in the milk, egg whites, mix thoroughly until smooth. Let the dough sit for 15-20 minutes. Heat the oil in a saucepan or deep fryer. Dip the prepared apple slices in the batter, fry in boiling oil, place on a paper napkin and leave in a warm place. Dissolve the sugar in water (about 150 ml) and cook until thickened, until the syrup turns brown. Dip the fried apples in caramel, arrange in greased bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds. There should be a bowl of ice water on the table: before eating, the caramelized apple slices should be immersed in cold water so that the caramel becomes crispy. Second option Products:
- apples,
- 2 tablespoons of sugar,
- 1 protein,
- a tablespoon (with a slide) of flour,
- vegetable oil for deep-frying,
- butter,
- sesame
Method of preparation:Peel the apples, remove the core and cut into large slices. Sift the flour, add the egg white and enough cold water to make a smooth dough (the consistency of thick sour cream). Dip the apples in the batter and deep-fry until golden brown. Heat the frying pan, add a little butter, add sugar and heat over low heat. When the mass caramelizes, put the apples in the frying pan and stir them so that they are covered in caramel, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve on a dish greased with butter. Enjoy!
