Chinese Candied Apple Recipes

CHINESE CANDIED APPLE

Steps:

• Peel and remove the seeds from the apple, cut into slices.
• Make a thick batter by mixing together flour, egg, cornflour, custard powder and water.
• Heal oil in a wok, dip the apple slices in the batter and deep fry. Remove, drain excess oil.
• In a separate wok, heat sugar along with a little oil and water till it reaches a thread-like consistency.
• Dip the apple slices in the sugar syrup to coat evenly.
• Remove carefully from the sugar syrup and dip in ice water for a minute.
• Serve immediately.

CHINESE TOFFEE APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Pour flour into a shallow bowl. Dredge apple chunks in flour.
• Mix cornstarch and 2 teaspoons water thoroughly in a small bowl. Mix in egg.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Dip apple chunks in the cornstarch mixture; cook in the hot oil until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon.
• Combine sugar, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, and remaining 1 teaspoon water in a separate saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until sugar melts, turns light golden, and starts to bubble, 8 to 10 minutes. Mix in fried apple chunks until evenly coated with caramel.
• Transfer caramel-coated apple chunks to a large serving dish; lift with chopsticks to separate and create sugar threads. Garnish with sesame seeds.
