Crispy, golden fried apple rings coated in a spiced batter and dusted with powdered sugar, perfect as a warm, comforting fall dessert or snack. This recipe uses Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast to the sweet, cinnamon-infused batter, fried to perfection in hot oil for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg

For the Apple Rings

  • 3 Granny Smith apples
  • High temp oil for frying (vegetable oil, grapeseed, or peanut oil)

For Serving

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or deep-sided pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F, ensuring it’s hot enough for frying the apple rings to crispy perfection.
  2. Prepare the Batter Dry Mix: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar to create the dry base for the batter.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the dry ingredient mixture and add the buttermilk and egg. Whisk together with a fork to incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry, creating a smooth batter. If the batter appears too thick, thin it with a few dashes of regular milk.
  4. Slice the Apples: Slice the Granny Smith apples into 1/4 inch thick rings. Use a small cookie cutter or a knife to remove the core from each ring, creating perfect apple circles.[
  5. Dip Apple Rings in Batter: Submerge each apple ring fully in the batter, ensuring an even coating for the best crispy texture after frying.
  6. Fry the Apple Rings: Carefully place the battered apple rings into the hot oil. Fry for a few minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  7. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried apple rings from the oil and allow them to drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil and keep them crisp.
  8. Serve: Dust the fried apple rings with powdered sugar and serve warm for a delicious and comforting fall dessert.

Notes

  • This recipe is adapted from Like Mother Like Daughter.
  • Use high smoke point oils like vegetable, grapeseed, or peanut oil for best frying results.
  • Adjust batter consistency with regular milk if too thick for easier coating.
  • Best served warm immediately after frying for crispiness.
  • Can be paired with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for added indulgence.
