How to Make Apples In Pajamas
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, 1 1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, milk, and water until the batter is smooth.
- If the batter is too thin, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it thickens to a consistency that will coat the apple slices.
- If the batter doesn't stick well to the apples, lightly toss the apple slices in a small amount of flour before dipping in the batter.
- Heat 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a deep, heavy skillet over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.
- Dip each apple slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Carefully place 4-5 apple slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to gently flip the slices.
- Remove the fried apple slices from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon and sugar.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the fried apple slices while they are still warm.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Apples in Pajamas!
