How to make Baked Apples in Beer Batter
To make the Beer Batter you put all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk until combined. Let chill for 15 minutes.
In the meanwhile you can cut the apples in about 0.25 thick slices, press both sides in flour and put them in the batter after.
Immediately after add the battered apples to the hot oil (170°C / 338°F) and bake for about 5-6 minutes until golden.
It really is very, very uncomplicated and easy.
The baked apples in beer batter are not really sweet. The crispy batter is not sugared and, depending on the variety, the apples are more sour than sweet. Freshly baked, they are therefore tossed in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar which covers them in a sweet, incredibly delicious coating.
