Toffee apples

Ingredients

4 ripe apples
1egg - 1egg white - 3tbsp (45 ml) all-purposeflour - 3tbsp (45 ml) cornstarch oil for deep-frying - 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil 1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar - 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey - 2tbsp (30 ml) white sesame seeds (optional) - 1 bowl ice water

Method :

Peel and core apples and cut each apple in six to eight wedges. Beat egg and egg white together and fold in sifted flour and cornstarch to make a better. Heat oil for deep frying. Dip apple wedges in batter and deep-fry until golden. Remove and drain on paper towels. In a saucepan heat vegetable oil, add sugar and heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Stir in honey. Coat apple fritters with syrup and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve while piping hot. Let each guest dip apple fritters into ice water. This will cause the syrup coating to harden so the fritters will be crisp and crackling on the outside.
