2 medium Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled, and cut into rings or wedges
Vegetable oil for frying
BATTER
3/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup fizzy cider
CARAMEL COATING
2/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
A generous pinch of Ancient Pandaren Spices
1. Heat about an inch of oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the batter. Gently dip one piece of apple into the batter, letting the excess drip off before lowering into the hot oil. Fry for about a minute on each side, or until it is golden brown and puffy. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, and pat dry on top as well. Repeat with all apples.
2. When the apples are done, make your caramel sauce. Combine the honey, sugar, and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Occasionally whisk together until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage, about 240°F. Remove from heat, and whisk in the butter and spices. If your caramel starts to separate, whisk in a splash of boiling water.
3. To serve, plate the apple slices and drizzle the caramel over top.
