Everyone loves jalebi, but have you ever thought of adding a twist to your regular jalebi. Now, how does apple jalebi sound? Interesting, right? Apple jalebi is basically rings of apple dipped in a sweet, spiced batter, that's golden-fried, and drenched in saffron-y sugar syrup. The delicious apple jalebi will become your new favourite, once you try it out. Start by slicing apples into perfect rings (because presentation matters), then dunk them in a batter made with flour, yogurt, and a pinch of cardamom for that aromatic vibe. Fry these beauties till they're crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and soak them in sugar syrup infused with saffron and rose water for that iconic jalebi shine. Serve them hot with a dollop of rabri or a sprinkle of pistachios, and watch them disappear faster than you can say “yum.” Whether it's a festive spread or a weekend treat, apple jalebi brings a playful, modern twist to traditional Indian sweets. It's crispy, juicy, syrupy, and downright indulgent—the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping it fresh and fab.

    Let's make some magic!
  3. 3
    Start by preparing the batter: In a bowl, mix 1 cup of maida, 2 teaspoons of cornflour, 0.5 teaspoon of active dry yeast, 1 tablespoon of ghee, a pinch of salt, and just enough water to form a smooth, lump-free batter. Cover it and let it rest for 30 minutes while the yeast works its magic.
  4. 4
    While the batter rests, make the sugar syrup by boiling 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Add 3 strands of saffron for a luxurious golden hue and 0.5 teaspoon of lemon juice to keep the syrup from crystallizing.
  5. 5
    Simmer until it reaches a one-string consistency (sticky but not too thick), then set it aside to cool slightly.
  6. 6
    Core and slice 2 medium apples into thin rings—keep the peel for that rustic charm. Pat the apple slices dry to ensure they fry up perfectly crisp.
  7. 7
    Heat 0.5 cup of oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
  8. 8
    Test the oil by dropping a bit of batter it should sizzle and float to the surface.
  9. 9
    Dip each apple ring into the rested batter, ensuring it's evenly coated, and gently slide it into the hot oil.
  10. 10
    Fry a few at a time, flipping occasionally, until the apple jalebis are golden and crispy. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  11. 11
    Immediately dunk the fried apple rings into the warm sugar syrup, letting them soak up all that sticky, saffron-infused goodness. Leave them in for a few seconds, then remove and arrange them on a serving plate. Garnish with slivers of pistachios for that Insta-worthy finishing touch.
  12. 12
    This recipe of apple jalebi is crispy, juicy, and dripping with syrupy indulgence—a total showstopper for festive occasions or anytime you want to treat yourself to something special. Grab a fork and dive into this golden, sweet delight!

FAQs

What's Apple Jalebi, and how does it stand out from traditional jalebi?

Apple Jalebi is the cool, modern remix of the classic Indian dessert. Instead of the usual spiral-shaped batter fried to crispy perfection, Apple Jalebi takes thin slices of apple, dips them in a light fermented batter, and fries them up until golden and crispy. These crispy apple slices are then soaked in a sugar syrup flavored with cardamom, saffron, or rose water, giving it that signature jalebi sweetness but with a fruity twist.

What's the best type of apple for Apple Jalebi?

You'll want apples that are firm and a little tart, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for the perfect Apple Jalebi. Their firmness keeps them intact during frying, and the tartness balances out the sweetness of the syrup. If you're into sweeter desserts, you can use varieties like Fuji or Gala, but make sure the apples aren't too soft—otherwise, they'll get mushy in the batter. Pro tip: slice the apples evenly so they cook perfectly every time.

Can you make Apple Jalebi healthier or bake it instead of frying?

Totally. If you're looking to make Apple Jalebi a bit lighter, baking or air-frying is the way to go. Just coat the apple slices in the batter and bake them at 375 F (190 C) until they're crispy and golden, or pop them in an air fryer for a similar vibe. To cut down on sugar, swap the traditional syrup for a lighter one made with honey or jaggery.
