Equipment
- Large skillet
- pairing knife or apple corer
- Vegetable Peeler optional
- digital thermometer recommended
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 apples large
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Set the batter aside while you prep the apples.
- Peel the apples. Then, use an apple corer or a knife to remove the cores. Then, cut the apple into thin rings. The rings should be about ¼-inch thick. Each apple should give you 4 to 5 rings, depending on how thick you slice them.
- Pour the vegetable oil into a deep skillet or frying pan, making sure you have about an inch of oil in the pan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Using a digital thermometer is a good idea to monitor the oil temperature and ensure it’s hot enough for frying.
- Dip each slice of apple into the batter, letting any excess batter drip off before placing the ring into the hot oil. Fry the apple rings in small batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the apple rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- While still hot, dip each apple ring into the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring they’re fully coated.
