Ingredients
- 3-4 large apples
- Oil for frying
For the Batter:
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 TBS white sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk mixed with 1 tsp white vinegar)
- 1 large egg
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Oil: Begin by preheating a large, shallow pot filled with about 2 inches of oil over medium heat. The oil should reach a temperature of around 375°F, ideal for frying.
- Mix the Batter: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
- Prepare the Coating: In another small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Spread this mixture on a plate and set aside for later use.
- Slice the Apples: Cut the apples into thin round slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Remove and discard the core from each slice. For a fun twist, cut each apple slice into two rings using a round cookie or biscuit cutter, creating a smaller ring from the middle and a larger one from the edge.
- Fry the Apple Rings: Dip the apple slices into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before placing them into the hot oil. Fry a few slices at a time, cooking each for about 2 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until both sides are golden brown.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Once fried, remove the apple rings from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. While still warm, dip each ring into the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
- Serve: Serve the apple rings hot, straight from the fryer, for the best flavor and texture.
Tips:
- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle the apple rings with caramel sauce or serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- If you’re not a fan of buttermilk, you can substitute it with regular milk mixed with a teaspoon of white vinegar for similar results.
- To make cutting the apples easier, try using a melon baller to remove the core before slicing.
Enjoy your Fried Cinnamon Apple Rings as a cozy, comforting treat that’s perfect for any occasion!
