Appelflappen Apple Folds Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and core apples, cut into slices to form rings about 1/2 inch thick.
• Beat egg into milk and add to dry ingredients. result should be the consistency of pancake batter.
• Dip apple rings into batter and deep fry at 350* until golden brown on both sides. do not overcrowd, fry 3 or 4 slices at a time allowing plenty of space to flip the slices over.
• Drain on paper towels and let cool for 30 minutes.
• Place on a tray and sprinkle with icing sugar. (also good plain).

Steps:

• Prepare or buy (shortcrust) pastry. Roll the pastry not too thinly and cut out large cirkels (6 in/15cm). Prepare the filling by cutting dices out of the pealed apples and mix them with the sugar, cinnamon, well drained previously washed currants and raisins. Do NOT prepare the filling in advance as the sugar will melt making the pastry too damp. Heap some filling on each cirkel of pastry and fold the edges over it, glueing the edges down with water. Brush each applefold with the eggyoke, which has been slightly beaten in a table spoon of water or use the mix of milk and sugar. Put the folds on a buttered baking tray and bake them in the middle of a hot oven in approx. 10 minutes until golden brown and well cooked. Eat them not too long afterwards as the crust will soon become limp because of the moist filling.
