Ingredients:
-
2–3 large apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji work great)
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tbsp sugar
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
For Coating:
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions:
-
Prep the apples: Peel, core, and slice apples into thick rings (about 1/4 inch thick). Set aside.
-
Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add milk, egg, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.

Heat oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).

Coat in cinnamon sugar: While still warm, toss the fried apple rings in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
-
Serve: Best enjoyed warm! Drizzle with caramel sauce or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
