What each ingredient does
- Apples
- Firm apple slices hold their shape while frying and soften slightly in the middle.
The step that matters
Fry the apple slices in hot grease until golden brown.. Hot grease browns the surface through the Maillard reaction, which adds flavour and colour. Too little heat lets the slices soak up grease and turn soggy instead of crisp at the edges.
