1. Dip the apple rings in vanilla sugar and leave to dry slightly on absorbent kitchen paper.
2. Prepare the fritter batter by sifting the flour and salt together into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the oil and egg yolk.
3. Gradually draw the flour into the egg, adding the milk a little at a time, beating to produce a smooth batter.
4. Whisk the egg white until it stands in firm peaks and fold into the batter mixture.
5. Heat the oil to 190°C (375°F) and coat the apple rings in the batter.
6. Fry the apple rings in the oil for about 4 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
7. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper. Sprinkle with Confectioner’s sugar and serve.
