This recipe comes from Phoebe Lawless of Scratch Bakery in Durham, NC (where I am an employee). Any variety of apple works here. At her restaurant The Lakewood, where this confection is made, the bakers use a cast-iron peeler/corer/slicer, which essentially spiralizes the skins. If you don’t have one, you can also use a hand peeler to create curls—the longer and thinner, the better! They will keep in an airtight bag for up to 3 days in the fridge. About 2 apples, depending on their size, yields 1 funnel cake. Featured In: The Sweet, Crispy State Fair Treat That Gives Apple Peels a New Life.
