Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 large apples, cored and sliced
  2. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  3. 1 tablespoon sugar
  4. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  5. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  6. 1 cup cold water
  7. Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples by washing them thoroughly and removing the cores. Slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick rings, ensuring each ring is uniform in thickness.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.
  3. Gradually pour in the cold water while stirring continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be similar to thin pancake batter.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pan to 375°F (190°C). Use a cooking thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
  5. Pat the apple rings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the batter adhere better.
  6. Dip each apple ring into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated on both sides. Allow excess batter to drip off before carefully placing in the hot oil.
  7. Fry the battered apple rings in small batches to prevent overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the batter turns golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the fried apple rings using a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
  9. Optional: Dust the warm apple rings with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for added sweetness.
  10. Serve immediately while hot and crisp, accompanied by vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce if desired.

Tips

  1. Choose firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
  2. Ensure your oil is precisely at 375°F for optimal frying - too low, and the rings will be greasy; too high, and they'll burn quickly.
  3. Pat apple rings completely dry before battering to help the coating stick better and create a crispier result.
  4. Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and prevent overcrowding.
  5. For extra flavor, experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg in your batter.
  6. Serve immediately for the best texture and crunch.
  7. If you want a lighter batter, you can substitute some all-purpose flour with cornstarch.
  8. Use a candy or deep-fry thermometer to monitor oil temperature accurately.
