Ingredients:
4 large apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil for frying
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
Prepare Apples:
Peel and core the apples. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Prepare Batter:
In another bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
Heat Oil:
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).
Coat and Fry:
Dip each apple ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered apple rings into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain and Dust:
Remove the apple rings from the oil and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Serve:
Serve warm and enjoy the crispy, cinnamon-sugar goodness!
