Apple Pie Rings Recipes

BRANDIED APPLE RINGS

Steps:

• Place apple rings in a bowl and pour in enough water to cover. Add lemon juice to water.
• Bring sugar and 3 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan; cook and stir until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Add apples to sugar-water mixture and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until apples are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack apple rings into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Keep syrup in the saucepan.
• Bring the syrup back to a boil and add brandy; cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Ladle the syrup over apple rings, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top.
• Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

APPLE PIE RINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the batter: Combine milk, egg, flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt into a large mixing bowl, and stir until all of the large clumps are broken up. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and 3 teaspoons cinnamon for dusting the finished apple pie rings. Set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil (it should be about an inch deep).
• As the oil heats-turn it down if it starts to smoke-slice apples into coins. Use a 1-inch biscuit cutter to turn the coins into "rings."
• Using tongs, dip each apple ring into the batter, then gently lower it into the oil. Once the edges of the apple rings are lightly golden, use the tongs to gently flip rings over and cook the other side (about 1 minute).
• Remove the browned apple rings from the oil, one at a time, and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess grease. Sprinkle both sides with the cinnamon-sugar blend.

APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon peel.
• Line one crust in a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Layer 1/3 of apples into pie crust. Sprinkle with sugar mixture and repeat until done. Sprinkle with lemon juice and dot with butter.
• Place second pie crust on top of filling and flute the edges. Cut vents in top crust and brush with milk for a glazed appearance if desired.
• Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 40 to 50 minutes.

FRIED APPLE RINGS

Steps:

• In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in sugar and lemon juice. Cut the apple into four rings; add to skillet. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until apple rings are tender, turning frequently. Serve warm.
