Fried Cinnamon Apple Rings 🍎

Fried Cinnamon Apple Rings 🍎

Ingredients:

For the Apple Rings:

1. 4 large apples (like Gala)

2. 1 cup flour

3. ¼ teaspoon baking powder

4. 2 tablespoons sugar

5. ¼ teaspoon salt

6. ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon

7. 1 large egg, beaten

8. 1 cup buttermilk

9. Vegetable oil for frying

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

10. ⅓ cup sugar

11. 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions:

1. In a big bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ⅛ teaspoon of cinnamon. Set it aside.

2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together.

3. In another small dish, mix the ⅓ cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to make your cinnamon-sugar topping. Set that aside too.

4. Slice the apples into ¼-inch thick rings. Use different-sized biscuit cutters to create rings, throwing away the middle parts with the core.

5. Heat up the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.

6. As the oil is warming up, combine the dry mix from step 1 with the wet mix from step 2. This is your batter.

7. Dip each apple ring into the batter, shaking off the excess by tapping it against the bowl's side.

8. Fry the rings in small batches, turning them until they're golden brown on both sides.

9. Once crispy, transfer the apple rings to a plate lined with paper towels for a moment to soak up excess oil.

10. Quickly roll each warm apple ring in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.

11. Place the coated rings on a wire rack and serve them warm.

Notes:

Feel free to use as many or as few apples as you like; they go a long way in this recipe! Enjoy!
