Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
Equipment:

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Frying pan
  • Paper towels
  • Wire rack
  • Circle biscuit cutters

Ingredients:

  • For the apple rings:
  • 4 large Gala apples, or any sweet variety
  • 1 cup flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • For the cinnamon sugar topping:
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Batter:
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients well and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and buttermilk.
  1. Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
  • In another small bowl, mix together the ⅓ cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Set this aside for coating the fried apple rings.
  1. Prepare the Apples:
  • Wash the apples and slice them into ¼-inch thick rings. Use biscuit cutters to remove the core from each slice, forming perfect rings.
  1. Fry the Apple Rings:
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat to 350°F.
  • Merge the wet and dry ingredients to form a smooth batter.
  • Dip each apple ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.
  • Fry the battered rings in the hot oil in small batches, turning once, until both sides are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  1. Coat with Cinnamon-Sugar:
  • After frying, briefly drain the apple rings on paper towels.
  • While still warm, toss each ring in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
  1. Serve:
  • Transfer the coated apple rings to a wire rack to avoid sogginess and serve warm for the best flavor.

These Fried Cinnamon Apple Rings offer a delightful combination of textures and flavors, making them a perfect treat for sweetening any occasion. Enjoy the crisp exterior and soft, warmly spiced interior that make each bite a joyous experience.
