Ingredients
  

2 large apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup milk

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vegetable oil (for frying)

Extra cinnamon and sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Prep the Apples: Wash the apples and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Remove the seeds and core. Pat the rings dry with a paper towel.

    Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

      Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or a frying pan, pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

        Fry the Rings: Dip each apple ring in the batter, ensuring it’s well-coated. Gently place the coated ring into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan; fry in batches if necessary.

          Drain and Dust: Once fried, transfer the apple rings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still warm, roll the rings in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for a delicious coating.

            Serve: Serve warm as a snack or dessert! Enjoy your crispy fried cinnamon apple rings with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for dipping.
