Ingredients

Serves 20

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large apples (1 pound)
4 cups canola oil
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

Directions

1
Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl. Place the milk, butter, egg and vanilla in a medium bowl. Whisk until blended. Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture until just moistened. Set aside.
2
Peel, core and slice each apple into ten 1/4-inch-thick rings.
3
Heat the oil in a large saucepan or deep-fat fryer to 350°F or until a cube of bread dropped in the oil browns in 1 minute. Dip the apple rings into the batter, turning to coat evenly. Deep-fry the apples in 5–6 batches, turning once, until crisp and golden, about 2 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels. Dust with the confectioners’ sugar. Serve warm.

Grandma's Secret Tip

Large Granny Smith or Braeburn apples work best for this recipe. Their tart flavor pairs well with the sweet batter.
