Apple Rings
A quick and delicious snack with sliced apple rings dipped in a sweet pancake batter, fried to a crisp, and topped with cinnamon-sugar.
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 4 large apples sliced into 1/4-inch thick slices
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (In place of milk, I have used heavy cream and coffee creamer, and it's really good!)
- 1 large egg lightly beaten to break up the yolk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- canola oil for frying
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat up the oil. In a large skillet, pour in enough oil to reach about 1 inch deep and heat it to 375˚F over medium-low heat.
- Prepare the apples. Meanwhile, slice the apples into ¼-inch thick round rings, then cut out the center of each slice. I use a small round cookie cutter to pop them out. Set them aside.
- Whisk the dry ingredients. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Whisk the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg, then add the vanilla and whisk until well combined.
- Combine. Whisk the milk mixture into the flour mixture until combined; set aside.
- Fry the apple rings. Dip the apple rings in the batter then transfer them to the skillet and cook in batches, 1 to 2 minutes per slice, or until golden, turning once to cook the other side.
- Make the cinnamon-sugar. In a bowl or plate, combine the sugar and cinnamon, and mix well.
- Finish and serve. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the apple rings while still hot. Serve immediately.
