Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 6 Minutes

Servings: 6-8 servings

Difficulty: Moderate

Recipe Ingredients:

4 medium organic apples, cored and sliced into rings (I like Galas)

3 pastured eggs at room temperature

2 tablespoons grass-fed butter, melted

2 tablespoons coconut flour, sifted

1 tablespoon local raw honey

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

small pinch of unrefined sea salt

1 tablespoon milk, cream, coconut milk, or water

coconut oil or ghee for frying

Homemade Cultured Mascarpone Cheese (optional for topping)

Recipe Instructions:

NOTE: I core and slice the apples one at a time as I am frying each batch, this keeps the browning to a minimum.

Heat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet on medium-low heat. Brush on a thin layer of coconut oil or ghee. You will likely only have to do this the one time if your skillet is seasoned well. Otherwise repeat the brushing of oil between batches as necessary.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs until pale. Add melted butter (be careful that it's no longer hot or you'll have scrambled eggs!), honey, sifted coconut flour (this is important so there are no lumps), cinnamon and sea salt. Finally stir in enough cream or milk to create a batter that is about the consistency or heavy cream.

Drop the slices of apple into the batter and turn them over so they are lightly coated in the batter. Lift each ring and give a little shake to get off excess batter. Place in the skillet and fry for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the apple is soft. If your batter is getting done too fast and your apples are still crunchy, reduce the heat and fry a minute or so longer.

Repeat with remaining apples until complete. Keep finished rings warm in the oven.

To serve, top with homemade cultured mascarpone cheese and sprinkle with a little more cinnamon.

NOTE: This recipe can be made dairy-free by using coconut oil in place of butter and coconut milk in place of the milk. Topping can be omitted.
