Fried apples with aromatic herbs are an exquisite French recipe that combines the delicate sweetness of fruits with the spiciness of spices. This dish hails from traditional French cuisine, where apples are often used as a base for desserts and appetizers. Ginger adds a slight heat, marjoram and oregano bring Mediterranean freshness, while cumin adds a warm nutty aroma. Chili pepper adds a spicy note, and oat flour creates a golden crust. Fried in olive oil, the apples acquire a caramelized texture while remaining juicy inside. This dish can serve as an independent appetizer or an original complement to meat or cheese. Perfect for cozy evenings with a glass of white wine.
