Method:

1. Beat the egg yolks in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until pale.

2. With mixer at medium speed, beat in the flour, wine, extra-virgin oil, and salt. Cover with a clean cloth and let stand for 1 hour.

3. Slice the apples and slice crosswise. Drizzle with the lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.

5. Use a large rubber spatula to fold them into the batter. Dip the apple slices in the batter, turning to coat well.

7. Drain well on paper towels. Dust with the confectioners' sugar and serve hot.
