Fried Cinnamon Apple Rings

A crispy, cinnamon-sweet treat – perfect for fall cravings!

Ingredients:

2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)

1 cup flour

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

Oil for frying

For Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions:

Prepare the Apples:

Core the apples and slice them into 1/4-inch rings.

Pat the apple slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Prepare the Batter:

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.

Heat the Oil:

In a deep skillet, heat about 1-2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Apple Rings:

Dip each apple ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.

Carefully place the apple rings in the hot oil, frying for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Remove the rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Coat in Cinnamon Sugar:

In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the coating.

While the apple rings are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.

Serve:

Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, sweet, and tangy treat!
