Ingredients
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 egg white
1 cup dark beer
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling
1 large onion, ends trimmed and skin removed
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
Salted Cinnamon Sugar, recipe follows
Salted Cinnamon Sugar:
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
- Pour enough oil in a medium saucepan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk the egg white until frothy. Stir in the beer. Add the flour and salt. Mix until the batter is smooth. Set aside.
- Cut the onion into 1/2-inch slices and separate into rings. Slice each apple into 5 rings and pat dry with paper towels.
- Dip the apples slices into the batter and allow any excess batter to drip off. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes each side until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried apple rings to paper towels to drain. Repeat with the onion rings.
- Transfer the apple and onion rings to serving platters. Sprinkle the onion rings with salt. Sprinkle the apple rings with the Salted Cinnamon Sugar. Serve immediately.
