Ingredients
– 2 large apples (I prefer Granny Smith for their tartness)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 egg
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Cinnamon sugar (for coating)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowl
– Whisk
– Peeler and corer
– Knife
– Frying pan or deep fryer
– Slotted spoon
– Paper towels
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s prepare the apples! Start by peeling and coring the apples, then slice them into rings about 1/4-inch thick. This is my favorite part because the vibrant colors and crisp textures of the apples are just gorgeous. Once your apple slices are ready, you’ll want to mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, beat together the milk, egg, and sugar until well combined. Carefully fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. This batter should be thick enough to coat the apple rings nicely but still smooth. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
