Ingredients

• 3 pieces Apples (medium-sized, firm like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 piece Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the apples, core them, and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Use a small round cutter to remove the core from the center if needed.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure consistent temperature.

Step 6

Dip each apple ring into the batter, coating it completely and letting any excess batter drip off.

Step 7

Carefully place the battered apple rings into the hot oil, frying 2-3 rings at a time to avoid crowding. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried apple rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining apple rings and batter.

Step 10

Dust the warm apple rings with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
