Apple Cinnamon Rings recipe

Apple Cinnamon Rings

Apple Cinnamon Rings

Batter
4 large apples (any variety)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg
1 cup (250 ml) buttermilk
1/2 cup canola oil, for frying

Cinnamon Sugar Coating
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

In a large bowl combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and ground cinnamon. Set aside. In a small bowl combine the egg and buttermilk. Combine the sugar and ground cinnamon and set the mixture aside in a plate.

Slice the apples into slices which are 1/4 inch thick. Use circle biscuit cutters in graduated sizes to make ‘rings’ out of the slices. Discard the centre circle which contains the core of the apple.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat or to 350°F (177°C). Combine the liquid and dry ingredients while the oil warms up. Dip the apple rings into the batter, removing any excess by tapping the rings against the side of the bowl. Cook the rings in small batches, turning them frequently to ensure even browning.

When the rings are golden brown and crispy, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towel for a few seconds. Quickly transfer the apple rings, one by one, into the sugar mixture. Flip the ring to ensure that both sides are covered with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm with a drizzle or small pot of caramel for dipping, if desired
