Ingredients
For the Apple Rings
- 4 large apples (Gala, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup buttermilk
- vegetable oil, for frying
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Optional: Peel apples. Slice into 1/4-inch rounds and use a small cutter to remove cores and create rings.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and 1/8 tsp cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
- In a third bowl, mix 1/3 cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon for topping.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients just before frying to make a smooth batter.
- Heat 1–2 inches of oil in a skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip each apple ring in the batter, letting excess drip off. Fry in batches for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Transfer to paper towel briefly, then roll warm rings in cinnamon sugar. Place on a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm!
Notes
Best served fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in an air fryer or toaster oven. Try with ice cream or caramel drizzle for extra indulgence!
