Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil in a medium saucepan to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, lightly beat eggs. Place flour in a second small bowl. Place kataifi in a large bowl. Dredge apples in flour. Using a slotted spoon, transfer apples to egg to coat. Remove, and toss apples in kataifi to coat. Place a piece of apple on an 8-inch wooden skewer. Immerse carefully in the hot oil, avoiding the bottom of the saucepan. Fry just until set and golden, about 1 minute. Remove from skewer, and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining apples. Transfer baking sheet to oven, and bake apples until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm with ice cream.;
