Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
Begin by washing the apples thoroughly. Core the apples and slice them into rings approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
In a bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix the two ingredients together until well blended.
Step 3: Dredge the Apple Rings
Dip each apple ring into the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring each ring is evenly coated.
Step 4: Prepare the Batter
In another bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, beat an egg and then combine it with milk. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
Step 5: Coat the Apple Rings in Batter
Take each coated apple ring and dip it into the prepared batter, making sure it is fully covered.
Step 6: Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles upon contact.
Step 7: Fry the Apple Rings
Carefully place the batter-coated apple rings into the hot oil. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
Step 8: Final Cinnamon Sugar Coating
While the apple rings are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture for an additional layer of flavor.
Step 9: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the fried cinnamon apple rings warm as a delicious treat.
