Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Apples (medium-sized, firm like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 piece Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Peel the apples, core them, and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Use a small round cutter to remove the core from the center if needed.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure consistent temperature.
Dip each apple ring into the batter, coating it completely and letting any excess batter drip off.
Carefully place the battered apple rings into the hot oil, frying 2-3 rings at a time to avoid crowding. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried apple rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining apple rings and batter.
Dust the warm apple rings with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
