directions

  • Peel and core the apples and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Place in bowl with the raisins, Calvados and sugar, and marinate for 3 hours.
  • For the batter, beat the egg yolk and beer in a large bowl. Blend in the flour and oil and add a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth. The batter will be very thick at this stage. Cover and leave in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • Pour the oil into a large saucepan to a depth of 4 inches and heat to 325 degrees or until a cube of bread dropped into the oil browns in 20 seconds.
  • Add 1 1/2 tbsp of the Calvados marinade to the batter and stir until smooth.
  • Whisk the egg white until stiff and gently fold into the batter.
  • Drain the apples and raisins, then toss with the flour to coat, then lightly fold them through the batter.
  • Carefully lower heaped tablespoons of batter into the oil in batches and fry for 1-2 minutes, until the beignets are golden on both sides.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep them warm.
  • Dust with icing sugar and serve.
