Instructions
Sift the flour into your bowl.
Pour in the olive oil, and add the salt.
Gradually mix in the water, a little at a time. Mix until the batter is smooth and creamy.
Leave to stand for about 2 hours.
Mix the sugar and spices together and leave aside.
Peal the apples and core them. If you don't have an apple corer, simply cut the apples into ¼ inch rings and carefully cut away the core in the center of the apple ring.
Pour the oil into your pan about 2 inches deep and heat slowly to medium high heat. Watch your oil, do not let it smoke.
Now, you have your apple rings prepared and while your oil is heating, dip the apple rings into the sugar and spice mixture before coating them with the batter.
Prepare the batter; whisk the egg white until it is light and frothy then fold it into the flour and water mixture.
Now you can give your apple rings a lovely coat of batter that will be the lightest and crispiest batter you have ever tasted.
Dip the apples in the batter mixture and fry in hot oil until golden brown.
Drain on absorbent kitchen paper.
You can dip them again in the sugar and cinnamon mixture which makes a delicious coating to finish your apple fritters off.
They can be devoured warm or left to cool off, but bet they won't last to cool down!
Now the only thing left to do is eat and enjoy!
