Ingredients

• 240ml warm water

• 420g plain flour
• 2 tsp quick action yeast (if using another yeast, dissolve in the water add sugar leave to bubble before adding to flour)

• 8-10 apples

Method

• Blend dry ingredients
• Mix in wet ingredients, stir/ knead for 10-15 mins
• Cover with greaseproof paper or a damp cloth
• Prove overnight or for 2 hours (if you don’t have a warm place, create a bain marie by placing the bowl in a tray of hot water and cover all in a tea towel)
• Add just enough warm water to the dough mix to allow it to stick to the apples. Keep it as thick as possible
• Cover and put the dough back in a warm place for approx. 20 mins
• Score and peel 8-10 apples, slice into thin rings (the peel can be cooked with any leftover dough). The children can peel the apples
• Heat a generous covering of oil in a wide pan CAUTION the oil will spit and needs constant attention remove from heat if it begins to smoke KEEP KIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE PAN.
• Dip each apple ring in a good coating of dough. The children can do this part. 
• Carefully place the doughnuts in the oil, cook each side until golden.
• Remove each cooked doughnut onto a cooling rack.
• Dust with a little sugar or sugar and cinnamon and serve warm
