Description

Deliciously crispy fried apple slices coated in a cinnamon-spiced batter and finished with a sweet cinnamon sugar coating. Perfect as a warm snack or dessert, these fried apples offer a delightful combination of tart apple flavor and crispy, sweet coating.

Ingredients

Apple Preparation

  • 3 large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)

Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Frying

  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin rounds or wedges to ensure even cooking and a tender texture inside.
  2. Make the dry mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup all-purpose flour. This will form the dry coating for the apples.
  3. Prepare the wet mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined. Optionally, you can add 1 tablespoon sugar here for extra sweetness.
  4. Heat the frying fat: Place 2 tablespoons of butter or oil in a large frying pan and heat over medium heat until hot but not smoking, ready for frying.
  5. Coat the apple slices: Dip each apple slice first into the wet mixture, coating it thoroughly, then dredge it in the dry flour mixture until evenly coated.
  6. Fry the apples: Carefully place the coated apple slices into the hot pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Maintain medium heat to avoid burning.
  7. Prepare the cinnamon sugar: While the apples are frying, mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl for the final coating.
  8. Drain and coat: Remove the fried apple slices from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  9. Serve: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Optionally, pair with vanilla ice cream or drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Use tart apple varieties like Granny Smith or sweet varieties like Honeycrisp for best flavor contrast with the sweet coating.
  • Ensure the oil or butter is sufficiently hot to achieve crispy coating without absorbing too much oil.
  • Serve immediately for best texture; the coating is crispest fresh out of the pan.
  • Optionally add a pinch of nutmeg to the dry mix for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
  • This recipe can be doubled easily for larger servings but fry in batches to keep the oil temperature consistent.
