• Begin by peeling, coring, and then cutting the apples into chunks and placing in a bowl.
• Add the sugar and spices to the apples and gently stir to coat.
• Place the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt into another bowl and create a “well” in the center.
• Pour the beer into the well, and mix to incorporate.
• Carefully add the apple chunks, coated in their spices, to the beer batter.
• Let the batter sit for a few minutes while the oil is heating.
  
• Gently spoon the batter into the hot oil (the amount of batter for each will be roughly one heaped tablespoon). The fritters will puff up. Fry for approximately 3 minutes on each side or until they are golden.
• Monitor that the temperature of the oil doesn’t get too high, or drop too low, to ensure even frying.
• Remove to paper towels to drain the oil.

Salted Caramel Sauce

• Melt the sugar over medium high heat in a large saucepan, stirring to make sure it doesn’t burn.
• Once the sugar is liquid add the butter. The mix will froth up (that’s why we use a large saucepan) so be careful and keep stirring until the butter has combined with the sugar.
• Bring the mix back to the boil for a couple of minutes then pour in the cream and stir, then bring back to the boil.
• Add the salt and stir as you wait for the mix to thicken – it should only take only about two minutes or so.
• If you like, these can be served with ice cream – it can be a yoghurt or non-dairy ice cream if you are concerned about reducing calories.
