Ingredients
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
11/4 cups prosecco, other sparkling wine, or soda water
3 gravenstein apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4 inch thick rings
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
for the sauce:
1/2 cup crème fraiche
2 tablespoons maple syrup
peanut or vegetable oil for deep frying
Preparation
Preheat the oil to 350. In a small mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, and prosecco together until just combined (do not overmix). In another small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. In another small bowl, combine the crème fraiche and maple syrup. Dip the apple rings in the batter and fry until golden and crispy, turning to cook evenly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels. Toss them in the cinnamon sugar. Serve next to a ramekin of maple crème fraiche for dipping.
