Pommes Croustillantes, also known as French apple fritters, are a delicious treat that originated in France. These crispy, golden brown fritters are made by slicing fresh apples, dipping them in a sweet batter, and then deep-frying them until golden brown. They are a popular snack or dessert in France and are often served with powdered sugar or a sweet glaze. While they may not be the healthiest food, they are a delicious and satisfying treat that is perfect for indulging in every once in a while.

Instructions

1.	In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
2.	Add the egg, melted butter, and cinnamon to the flour mixture, and whisk until smooth.
3.	Peel and core the apples, and slice them into thin rings.
4.	Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large, deep pan to 375°F.
5.	Dip the apple slices into the batter, making sure they are coated evenly.
6.	Place 3 to 4 apple slices into the hot oil at a time and cook until both sides are golden brown, flipping them once while cooking.
7.	Drain the cooked apple fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil and cool slightly before serving.
