Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the apple. Then, slice it into approximately 1 to 2 cm thick rounds. Use a small knife or cookie cutter to carefully remove the core from the center of each slice, creating a donut shape. This step ensures the batter adheres well and makes them easy to eat.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the batter! In a bowl, combine 1/3 cup of tempura flour (or all-purpose flour) and 1/4 cup of cold water. Whisk with chopsticks or a whisk until smooth, with no lumps. The consistency should be neither too thick nor too thin – a slightly thick batter helps the coating stick effectively and prevents it from peeling off.
Step 3
It’s time to coat the apple slices! First, lightly dust each apple slice with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour, ensuring an even, thin layer. This helps the batter adhere better. Next, generously coat the floured apple slices with the prepared batter. Finally, press the shredded coconut or coconut flakes firmly onto the batter-coated apple slices, ensuring they are fully covered. A good amount of coconut will make them extra delicious.
Step 4
Now, let’s bake these delightful apple donuts in the air fryer. Arrange the coated apple donuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, carefully flip the donuts and continue air frying for another 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy on both sides. They should be wonderfully crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.
Step 5
Arrange the freshly baked apple coconut donuts on a serving plate. As a final touch, drizzle generously with maple syrup according to your preference. Your beautiful and delicious apple coconut donuts are now ready to be enjoyed! They are best served warm.
