Description
Warm apple rings, crisp on the outside, tender inside, infused with cinnamon aroma and kissed by a sweet batter. Each bite echoes autumn’s warmth, especially good with vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel and core the apples then slice into 1/2-inch rings and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl beat the egg with the milk and vanilla extract then pour into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Dip each apple ring into the batter, letting excess drip off, then carefully place into the hot oil.
- Fry the rings for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown, flipping once.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried rings to paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the fried cinnamon apple rings warm and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra sweetness dust the rings with a cinnamon sugar mix right after frying.
- Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point like canola or grapeseed.
- You can serve these with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a dessert twist.
- Batter consistency should be thick enough to coat but still drip, adjust with milk or flour as needed.
