Ingredients

325g container buttermilk pancake mix

½ cup desiccated coconut

6 apples (190g each)

Melted butter, for greasing

Salted caramel topping and vanilla ice-cream to serve

Method

Step 1

Combine pancake mix and coconut in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in 2 cups water until well combined.

Step 2

Using an apple corer, remove cores from apples. Trim ends. Cut into 1cm-thick rounds.

Step 3

Heat a lightly greased, large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.

Step 4

Dip an apple round into batter, allowing excess to drip away. Add to pan. Repeat with five more slices. Cook for about 2 mins on each side, or until golden brown.

Step 5

Transfer fritters to an oven tray. Lightly cover with foil. Place in a 100°C preheated oven to keep warm.

Step 6

Repeat with remaining apple slices and batter, greasing the pan with melted butter between batches.

Step 7

Serve warm fritters with salted caramel topping and ice-cream.
