Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Apple Rings
Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Use an apple corer to remove the cores, ensuring a clean hollow center. Slice the apples evenly into rings about 1 cm thick. Check each ring for seeds and remove any remaining bits.
Tip: Use firm, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
Mix the Coating Batter
Combine the pancake mix, cinnamon and sugar. Gradually add water (or milk for extra richness) to the dry ingredients while whisking until the batter is smooth and thick enough to coat the apple rings without dripping too much.
Tip: Adjust the consistency by adding a tablespoon of water or pancake mix if necessary; the batter should resemble the thickness of yogurt.
Heat the Oil
Pour oil into a deep skillet or pot, filling it to a depth of about 2–3 cm. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 175–180°C. Test by dropping a small batter into the oil - it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
Tip: Use a thermometer to ensure consistent frying temperature and avoid burning.
Coat the Apple Rings
Dip each apple ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully covered. Let excess batter drip off before carefully lowering the coated ring into the hot oil using tongs or a fork. Repeat for a few rings at a time without overcrowding the pan.
Tip: Keep one hand dry and one wet when dipping to avoid batter buildup on your fingers.
Fry the Apple Rings
Fry the coated rings for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Flip them gently using tongs to ensure even cooking. Once fried, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Tip: Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and ensure crispy rings.
Serve with Caramel Sauce
Arrange the fried apple rings on a serving plate. Warm the caramel sauce slightly in a microwave or saucepan and serve it as a dipping option.
Tip: For a touch of elegance, dust the apple rings with powdered sugar or drizzle caramel sauce directly on top before serving.
