Cinnamon Kanzi ® Apple Fries

1. Pour the vegetable oil (4cm high) into a medium size saucepan with deep sides. Place on medium-high heat and bring it up to frying point (185C).
2. In a mixing bowl combine the plain flour, sugar and cinnamon and stir to combine. Then add the milk, lightly beaten egg and the vanilla essence. Using a whisk, whisk until well combined and no lumps appear.
3. Add the Kanzi®apple slices to the batter to coat.
4. While the oil is heating up, prepare your cinnamon sugar by simply mixing both ingredients together. Set aside on a large plate.
5. Test if the oil is hot enough by adding in a tiny spoon of batter, it should sizzle and little bubbles should form around the batter edges. If not, allow it to heat up further.
6. Pick up a Kanzi® apple slice and allow any excess batter to drip off before placing it in the oil. Use a slotted spoon to gently turn the apple slice over once the batter coating has developed a light golden brown colour and cook the other side (2-3 minutes each side). Drain off any excess oil andplace on paper towel. Repeat the process in batches of 5-6 slices at a time to prevent the slices sticking to each other.
7. Toss the cooked Kanzi® apple fries in the cinnamon sugar to coat all sides.

To make the caramel sauce:

1. Combine the lemon juice and the corn flour in a small saucepan.
2. Stir until well combined and any lumps are removed. Then stir in the remainder of the ingredients.
3. Allow to simmer on medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauces tarts to thicken. Keep stirring to prevent lumps forming. Depending on your sweet tooth, a little more maple syrup can be added.
4. Once the caramel sauce is thickened and the taste of the corn flour has disappeared take it off the heat.
5. Enjoy your Kanzi® apple fries with a side of caramel sauce, served from as mall pouring jug.
