It's autumn and we are enjoying apples every-which-way these days. Once
a year we have apple fritters...this year they became apple ring
fritters. I used a mandolin slicer to get thin (1/3 inch) slices and a
dollar store apple corer to remove the core.
Apple Ring Fritters
Apple Ring Fritters
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 3 large tart apples
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Blend flour, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Beat eggs and add milk; pour into flour mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Peel, core and cut apples into thin slices.
- In an electric skillet or a heavy frying pan, heat oil to 375°.
- Dip apple rings into batter to coat and place into hot oil.
- Fry several at a time until golden...turning over to cook on both sides.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over hot fritters. Or, serve warm with syrup.
And just for the fun of it...I tried apple ring pancakes using the very same method.
- Peel the apples.
- Remove core. *If you do not have a corer, slice first and then use a biscuit cutter to cut out center circle.
- Slice thinly.
- Dip each apple slice into your favorite pancake batter. (I added 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the batter).
- Transfer the apple slices to greased and pre-heated skillet.
- Cook on medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, and then flip.
- Cook until golden brown.
- Drizzle with syrup and enjoy!
