Happy FRIDAY!!!

I think Fridays need to be a National Holiday. Everyone celebrates this day, anyhow! What do you think?

When I worked in the big city back in my hay day, a bar nearby used to have Happy-Hour-Fridays. All day Friday was happy hour. Happy prices, happy people! I was there twice on Fridays – lunch time and after work. If you’re reading, Hi Boss! 🙂

I also think that Fridays need to come with a sweet weekend recipe because, as we all know, weekend calories don’t count.

Thus, when life gives you apples…

Or, when your apple tree gives you apples… you maaaaaake???

Apple Rings! Ding! Ding! Ding!

You probably wanted to say Apple Pie, but let’s pretend, for the sake of my recipe. Ahem. My mom’s recipe.

My mom makes killer onion rings so I asked her to give up the recipe for the batter. Measurements and all. The lady was more than happy to let me have it, but she wasn’t all too happy with me to use the same batter with apples. For some reason, she just wasn’t having it – “The batter is too thick…it’s not sweet…it won’t work” … la di da di da

I told her to ‘chill out’ while showing her the chill-hand, 1990’s-Pepsi-commercial-style. Remember that?! YouTube it.

Well, needless to say, she LOVED these apple rings. Truly, loved! She just kept going back for more. But so did I! They were best while hot, but I still enjoyed them later on that night, when everyone went to bed. 😀

My mom has a thing for putting yogurt in batter and this recipe is no different. But, lucky for us, it’s pretty simple and we can do this in our sleep – mix, whisk, dunk, fry. The end.
Tomorrow morning wake up before the rest of the fam and get on this. You won’t even need to wake them up. The smell of state-fair fried food will do that for you. Which reminds me, open up the windows while working on this deliciousness – your neighbors will thank you.

ENJOY!

  7. This recipe looks awesome! A great idea for a Saturday morning brunch watching soccer!
    Has anybody tried baking them?
    I was thinking: hotel pan, a bit of canola, flip half way through, will it be crispy you think?

    • Hi Emma!

      While I have never tried to bake the apple slices, I think what might work is placing them on a lightly buttered wire rack set over a baking sheet to catch the drippings.
      Spray the apple rings with Baking Spray and bake at 350 for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is browned. Again, I haven’t tried this, but I think this will work. Let me know how it goes!

  8. Hi! My mom and I made these and they are absolutely fantastic! They’re not too great cold as they get soggy. But warmed oh wow! We tried caramel for dipping. My dad was in heaven. Next time we might try an apple chimicheesecake thing also in slices instead of rings. I’m a horrible slicer and the rings were extremely funny looking. I would love it even more if it was baked not fried. I love the fried but the sizzling makes my dog shake and pees all over. So I’m looking for a way to bake these. If anyone tried baking these, lemme know? These will definitely be a holiday maybe once a month treat. TY for introducing these into our lives. 🙂

  9. This recipe is delicious! I made them on my mom’s birthday and the whole family loved em (my grandma even had me write down the recipe for her).

    We added a tablespoon of cinnamon instead of a teaspoon, on accident, but it still turned out perfect. We also drizzled caramel on top… Mmm.

    Thanks for sharing!

  10. Mmmmm… these look delish! Has anyone tried making these gluten-free? I’m thinking a simple flour base ( or a GF mix) would work well, especially with the yogurt to make the batter more moist. 😛

  11. Could these apple rings be baked and if so at what temp and for how long. I don’t like using canola oil as it’s a GMO

    • Hi Louise! While I have never tried to bake the apple slices according to this recipe, I think what might work is layering the apple slices on a lightly buttered wire rack set over a baking sheet to catch the drippings. Bake at 350 for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is browned.

  14. checked out the Pepsi commercial and I guess I was asleep in the 80’s. Never saw it or at least I don’t remember it. 🙂 One thing I won’t forget are these apple rings. What a great smell to wake up to and what a great breakfast treat. Might just have to surprise my hubby with these. Thanks!
