Cinnamon Fried Apple Rings

I don’t know what it is about fried treats but I just can’t get enough of them.  I’ve always loved going to the county fair and seeing what things they can come up with to make a delicious fried treat.  Every time I go, I’m simply amazed at all the new things they have and love each one of them.

The best thing about these fried slices of heaven, is that they are so easy to make at home.  One of my favorites were deep fried apple slices.  These cinnamon sugar fried apple rings make the perfect fall treat. They are literally made of apples, cut into thin rings, dipped in a delicious batter, fried up and coated in cinnamon and sugar. Is there anything better than that?

How To Make Fried Apples Rings

This easy recipe below will show you how to make these delicious fried apple rings.  Consider yourself warned because once you make these delicious fried apple rings, you’ll always be thinking of what else you can fry.

Preparation – Slice the apples into thin round slices that are about a quarter of an inch thick.  Cut the core out of each apple slice and then cut each slice so there are two rings.  Preheat the vegetable oil in a large shallow pot over medium heat.

Make The Batter – Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar into a medium sized bowl.  In a smaller bowl, combine the milk and vinegar (or substitute with buttermilk), with the egg.  Add the milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir everything together.  In a third bowl, mix together the remaining cinnamon and sugar and then pour the mixture onto a plate.

Dip & Fry – Dip each apple ring into the batter and allow any excess to drip off.  Place a few slices at a time into the heated oil and let them fry for a few minutes.  Once the bottom side has turned brown, flip each apple ring over and let the other side cook until it’s a golden brown as well.

Once both sides have cooked, remove the apple rings and place them on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil.  Place them on the plate with the cinnamon and sugar mixture to cover each side.  These cinnamon apple rings taste the best when they’re hot, so serve them immediately.

Tips & Tricks

Substitution – If you prefer to use buttermilk in your recipe batter, you can substitute one cup of buttermilk for the milk and vinegar.

Perfect Slices – I used a mandolin slicer when cutting my apples into rings.  Just put it on the “thick” setting and you’re all set.

Easy Ring Cuts – I used a round biscuit cutters to cut each slice into the two rings.
