Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 3 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 apple - peeled, cored, and cut into chunks

  • ¾ cup cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon water, divided

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • oil for frying

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Pour flour into a shallow bowl. Dredge apple chunks in flour.

  2. Mix cornstarch and 2 teaspoons water thoroughly in a small bowl. Mix in egg.

  3. Heat oil in a large saucepan to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Dip apple chunks in the cornstarch mixture; cook in the hot oil until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon.

  4. Combine sugar, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, and remaining 1 teaspoon water in a separate saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until sugar melts, turns light golden, and starts to bubble, 8 to 10 minutes. Mix in fried apple chunks until evenly coated with caramel.

  5. Transfer caramel-coated apple chunks to a large serving dish; lift with chopsticks to separate and create sugar threads. Garnish with sesame seeds.
