Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
Apple Rings
- 3 Granny Smith apples
For Frying and Serving
- High temperature oil (vegetable oil, grapeseed, or peanut oil) for frying
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep-sided pan over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar thoroughly.
- Add wet ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then add the buttermilk and egg. Use a fork to whisk the egg and buttermilk together before incorporating them into the dry mixture.
- Adjust batter consistency: If the batter appears too thick, add a few dashes of regular milk to thin it until it reaches a smooth, dippable consistency.
- Prepare apple rings: Slice the Granny Smith apples into 1/4 inch thick rings. Remove the core from each ring using a small cookie cutter or paring knife.
- Batter the apples: Dip each apple ring into the prepared batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Fry the rings: Carefully place the battered apple rings into the hot oil and fry them on both sides for a few minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Drain excess oil: Remove the fried apple rings with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve: Dust the fried apple rings generously with powdered sugar before serving warm.
Notes
- Use Granny Smith apples for a tart flavor that balances the sweet batter.
- Maintain oil temperature to avoid greasy or undercooked rings.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
- Can be served with caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
- Ensure the batter is not too thick or too thin to properly coat the apple rings.
