Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon (7 grams) fresh yeast or 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried yeast

4 fl oz (100 ml) hot water

4 oz (125 grams) superfine sugar

1 large egg, beaten

3 tablespoons (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil

4 fl oz (100 ml) dry white wine

8 oz (225 grams) plain white flour

1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt

4 eating apples

1/2 pint (300 ml) olive oil (for frying)

Directions

Cream the fresh yeast with the hot water (If using dried yeast, sprinkle it into the water with a pinch of the sugar and leave in a warm place for 15 minutes until frothy).

Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of sugar, the egg, olive oil and wine and blend well together.

Put the flour and salt into a large bowl.

Make a well in the center, add the yeast mixture and beat with a whisk until it is like a pancake batter.

If the batter seems too stiff, add a little more wine or water.

Peel, core and slice each apple into 5 rings.

In a deep, heavy-based saucepan, heat the olive oil.

Coat a few apple slices on both sides with the batter, letting the excess drain off.

Fry the slices for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Drain on kitchen paper.

Cook the remaining apple slices in the same way.

Put the remaining sugar on a plate.

When the apple slices are cool enough to handle, gently press them into the sugar.
