Equipment

  • 1 deep-frying pan

Ingredients

  • 2 apples
  • 1 Cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp baking Powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon adjust to taste
  • 1 Tbsp white granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup almond milk or any milk
  • ½ cup canola or avocado oil for frying

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • ½ cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Core the apples and slice vertically into doughnut-size rings.
  • Mix the batter. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon with a whisk.
  • Add in the almond milk, mix well. If batter is too thick, add a few more tablespoons of milk.
  • Heat the oil in a deep-frying pan (or a deep pan) to 180˚C (350°F).
  • Evenly coat each apple slice in the batter mix by dipping both sides.
  • Carefully lay the doughnuts into the oil and fry for a few minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  • Gently remove them from the oil, blot with a paper towel and flip around in the cinnamon sugar topping.
  • Eat them as is, or dunk them in fudge, caramel or icing. Enjoy.

Notes

  • Slice the apples evenly, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Thinner slices may break, while thicker ones may not cook through as well.
  • Pat the apple slices dry with a paper towel before dipping them in the batter. This helps the batter adhere better.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container or large Ziploc bag in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
