Mothers Cinnamon Apple Rings Recipes

FRIED CINNAMON APPLE RINGS

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the egg and buttermilk and mix well.
• In a third dish, mix the remaining ⅓ cup sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and reserve for topping.
• Slice apples into ¼-inch slices. Using a biscuit cutter, remove the cores along with the seeds, leaving ¼-inch-wide rings. Pat the apple rings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
• Over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• As the oil heats, combine the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture together into the batter, mixing well to remove any lumps.
• Dip the apple rings, one at a time, into the batter. Tap apple rings against the side of the bowl to remove any excess batter.
• Gently place the rings in the hot oil and fry in small batches, turning so that they brown on both sides.
• Once the apple rings are golden and crispy, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
• Dip each apple ring into the cinnamon sugar and coat evenly. Place on a wire cooling rack - setting the fried-and-coated rings on a plate will result in soggy apple rings! - and serve warm.
• Cinnamon Sugar Topping.
• - ⅓ cup sugar.
• - 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
