1 cup water
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled
Canola oil for frying

Preparation

1 Whisk egg until frothy and the whisk in water and vanilla. Whisk in flour and salt and let sit while slicing apples. 2 Slice peeled apples into 1/2 inch thick slices (you will get about 4 slices per apple). 3 Using varying sized biscuit cutters, cut “rings” out of apple slices, discarding smallest circle containing core. 4 Heat oil to 375 degrees. 5 Dip apple rings into batter, letting excess drip off. 6 Cook in oil in small batches, turning frequently to monitor browning. 7 When the rings turn golden brown, remove to a plate and while still hot sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar. 8 Serve immediately with warm drizzled sauce. 9 Makes 16 apple rings – serves 4 to 6. 10 CINNAMON CREAM SYRUP 11 In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Bring to a boil, stirring for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Serve warm.

About


Onions rings are an All-American classic, but did you know that  apples make delicious “rings,” too?!  This Apple Dessert Rings recipe uses my Cinnamon Cream Syrup recipe just like onion rings use ketchup for dipping. This is “Not-Your-Mama’s” apple dessert!
A side note: there are literally thousands of apple dessert recipes out there, but nothing like these apple rings! Here are some of my favorite “Not-Your-Mama’s” kind of unique apple recipes by food bloggers:
