A cider-spiked batter coats apple rings that are browned in a skillet and then baked. The honeyed flavor of Golden Delicious apples makes them a winner in this dessert. Ingredients:
4 golden delicious apples, peeled and cored |
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon granulated sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
dash of freshly grated nutmeg |
1/3 cup apple cider |
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten |
cooking spray |
1/4 cup fat-free caramel sundae syrup, divided |
powdered sugar (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Slice apples crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Set aside 8 largest slices; reserve remaining apple for another use.
3. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Stir in cider and egg whites (batter will be thick).
4. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Dip 4 apple slices in batter; place in pan. Cook 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Arrange apple slices on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; lightly coat apple slices with cooking spray. Repeat procedure with remaining apple slices.
5. Bake apple slices at 400° for 10 minutes or until edges are crisp. Drizzle each of 4 plates with 1 tablespoon caramel sauce; top with 2 apple slices. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately.
