Peking Candied Apples Chinese 12 pieces INGREDIENTS
2 medium size crisp apples 1 egg Flour 1 1/2 cups sugar
COOKING METHOD
Peel, core, and cut apples into 12 sections. Coat apples in 1 beaten egg. Dust very lightly with flour. Deep fry apples in hot oil until golden brown. Drain. Make a thick mixture of 1 1/2 cups sugar. Add sufficient oil to moisten sugar. Heat over low flame, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and obtains a syrupy consistency. Pour over apple sections, covering apples completely. Have a large blow of ice cold water at table in which to immerse apple sections individually with chopsticks to crystallize the coating. Eat immediately. |
