For the apple rings:

• 4 large apples (I used gala)
• 1 cup flour
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 cup buttermilk
• vegetable oil for frying

For the cinnamon sugar topping:

• ⅓ cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions:

• 1.In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside. In a small bowl combine the egg and buttermilk. In a third dish, make your cinnamon-sugar topping by combining the ⅓ cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Set that aside too.
• 2. Next, slice the apples into ¼-inch thick slices, and use circle biscuit cutters in graduated sizes to make rings out of each slice. Discard the center circles containing the apple core.
• 3. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat to 350°F.
• 4. Combine the contents of the first and second dishes as the oil warms up. This will be your batter.
• 5. Dip the apple rings in and out of the batter one at a time, removing any dripping excess by tapping the rings against the side of the bowl.
• 6. Fry the rings in small batches, turning them to ensure browning on both sides.
• 7. Once the rings are golden and crispy, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towel for a few seconds.
• 8. Quickly transfer the apple rings, one by one, into the cinnamon-sugar mixture and coat evenly.
• 9. Transfer to a wire rack and serve warm.
