Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Quick & Easy: You don’t need fancy equipment, and it all comes together fast.
  • Perfect for Fall: A cozy treat that’s great for autumn days (or anytime, really).

Ingredients

For the Apple Rings:

  • 4 large apples (such as Gala): Sweet and perfect for frying.
  • 1 cup flour: Forms the base of the batter.
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder: Adds a little puff to the batter.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar: For just a touch of sweetness.
  • ¼ teaspoon salt: Balances the flavors.
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon: For that hint of warm spice in the batter.
  • 1 large egg, beaten: Helps hold the batter together.
  • 1 cup buttermilk: Adds richness and helps the batter crisp up nicely.
  • Vegetable oil for frying: Enough to cover the apple rings in the pan.

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:

  • ⅓ cup sugar: The perfect sweet coating.
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon: Warm spice to complement the sweetness.

Variations

  • Add Nutmeg: A pinch of nutmeg in the batter or topping can add extra warmth.
  • Dipped in Chocolate: Melt a little chocolate and dip the rings after frying for a different twist.
  • Use Pears: Swap apples for pears if you want to mix things up!

How to Make the Recipe

Step 1: Prep the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the buttermilk until well combined.

Step 3: Make Cinnamon Sugar

In a shallow dish, combine the ⅓ cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon for the topping. Set aside.

Step 4: Prep the Apples

Peel the apples if desired, then core them and slice into ¼-inch thick rings. Use a small round cutter or knife to remove the center of each slice, creating perfect apple rings.

Step 5: Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 6: Coat the Apple Rings

Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter. Dip each apple ring into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated.

Step 7: Fry the Apple Rings

Carefully place the coated apple rings into the hot oil, frying them in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the rings from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Step 8: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

While the apple rings are still warm, dip them into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, making sure they’re fully coated.

Let’s talk about a fun, crispy, and downright delicious way to enjoy apples. These Fried Cinnamon Apple Rings are basically like little slices of heaven, wrapped in a warm, crunchy batter and dusted with cinnamon sugar. My family always goes crazy for these, and every time I make them, it’s like we’re at a cozy fall fair right in our own kitchen!

How to Serve

Serve these warm with a side of caramel or chocolate sauce for dipping, or just enjoy them as they are—crispy, sweet perfection.

Make Ahead

You can prep the apples ahead of time and keep them in a bowl of cold water with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Fry them fresh for the best crunch, though!

FAQs

Can I use a different type of apple?
Absolutely! Granny Smith adds a nice tart flavor, while Honeycrisp or Fuji would be super sweet.

Do I need to peel the apples?
Nope! That’s totally up to you. Leaving the peel on can add a bit of texture, but it’s all about personal preference.

Conclusion

There you have it—a crispy, cinnamon-sugar-coated treat that’s just as fun to make as it is to eat. These Fried Cinnamon Apple Rings are perfect for fall, but let’s be honest, they’re irresistible year-round.
