Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 18 oz apple rings, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick from about 2 large apples
- 1 tbsp lemon juice to keep apples from browning
- 1.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar for batter
- 1.25 tsp baking powder
- 0.75 tsp ground cinnamon for batter
- 0.25 tsp fine salt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 3.5 oz eggs, lightly beaten about 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup neutral oil, for frying such as canola or vegetable
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar for coating
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon for coating
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar optional, for dusting
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Prep apples: Peel, core, and slice into 1/4-inch rings. Toss with lemon juice and pat dry.
- Whisk flour, 2 tbsp sugar, baking powder, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, beaten eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine wet with dry to form a thick, pourable batter. Rest 5 minutes.
- Heat oil in a wide skillet to about 350°F. Mix coating sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a shallow dish.
- Dip apple rings in batter, letting excess drip. Fry in batches 1–2 minutes per side until golden.
- Drain on a rack. While warm, toss in cinnamon sugar or dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
Try a maple glaze instead of cinnamon sugar, or add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter. For a lighter version, air-fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, lightly misting with oil. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or salted caramel. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes to re-crisp.
