Pommes Croustillantes, or French apple fritters, are a classic French dessert that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This dessert is made by dipping slices of apples in a sweet batter and frying them until golden brown. These fritters are then sprinkled with a cinnamon and sugar mixture for an extra burst of sweetness. They are a great option for a delicious dessert or can be enjoyed as a sweet snack anytime.

Instructions

1.	Start by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples into thin pieces.
2.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3.	In another bowl, beat the egg and add in the melted butter.
4.	Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
5.	Dip each apple slice into the batter, making sure to coat both sides.
6.	Fry the apple fritters in hot oil until golden brown on both sides.
7.	Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
8.	Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture and serve warm.
