Fried Cinnamon Apple Rings

Introduction

Fried Cinnamon Apple Rings are a delicious treat that combines the sweet and tart flavors of apples with a crispy cinnamon-sugar coating. These are perfect for a warm dessert or snack, especially in the fall season. They’re easy to make and pair wonderfully with ice cream, caramel sauce, or simply enjoyed on their own.

Ingredients

• 4 large apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk (or milk)
• 1 large egg
• Vegetable oil for frying

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Prepare the Apples:
   • Peel the apples, core them using an apple corer or a knife, and slice them into ¼-inch thick rings. Set aside.
2. Make the Batter:
   • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk and egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing until smooth.
3. Heat the Oil:
   • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
4. Fry the Apple Rings:
   • Dip each apple ring in the batter, then fry in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
5. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar:
   • While still warm, toss the fried apple rings in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon until well coated.

Conclusion

Serve these delicious fried apple rings while warm for the best experience. They pair wonderfully with ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. You can also try variations like baking instead of frying or adding different spices for a unique twist.
