Grannys Apple Fries Recipe 445

Steps:

• Heat 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil in a large wide pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 300 degrees F. Cut the apples into 1/2-inch-wide sticks to look like fries.
• Working in two batches, toss the apples in the cornstarch until well coated, shaking off the excess. Fry in the hot oil until softened but still pale, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a rack set over a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer; let cool. Let the oil return to 300 degrees F between batches.
• Mix 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon in a shallow bowl; set aside. Beat the heavy cream, vanilla and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl with a mixer until medium peaks form.
• Increase the oil temperature to 375 degrees F. Working in about three batches, re-fry the apples until crisp and lightly browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain briefly, then toss in the cinnamon sugar until well coated. Serve warm with the whipped cream for dipping.

Steps:

• Peel, core, and slice apple into french-fry shaped sticks. In a bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. Dip apples in buttermilk, then lightly coat with cornstarch. Shake off excess cornstarch, and immediately deep fry in hot cooking oil until golden brown. Drain apple fries on a paper towel and sprinkle with sugar mixture. To make dipping sauce, beat cream adding sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Garnish with cinnamon.
