You will need:

• Oil for frying, needs to be 1 to 2 inches deep in the pan
• 4 apples
• 1 can of ginger ale
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 3 teaspoons cinnamon 

How To Make This Apple Fritter Rings Recipe

STEP ONE: Heat 1 to 2 inches of oil to 350°F in an electric frying pan or a skillet on the stove.

STEP TWO: Core the apples, then slice them ¼-inch thick and set them aside.

STEP THREE: Whisk the ginger ale, flour, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.

STEP FOUR: Once the oil is hot, dip each apple ring in batter and then into the hot oil. Working in batches, arrange the fritters in a single layer without crowding, so that they don’t stick together. 

STEP FIVE: Fry fritters for two minutes, then turn them over gently and fry for two more minutes. Remove to drain on a paper towel. Keep them crisp in a warm oven while you repeat the process with the remaining apple rings.

STEP SIX: Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on the finished hot fritters.

STEP SEVEN: Serve warm.

How To Serve

Dip the warm apple fritters in caramel sauce or take this dessert from simple to special by topping them with our homemade vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of hot fudge sauce, and a sprinkle of nuts.

Storage

IN THE FRIDGE: Store the battered apple rings covered on the counter for a day or two. Reheat in the oven or in a pan on the stove. Microwaving these apple rings will turn them to mush.

IN THE FREEZER: Freezing is not recommended as the apple rings will become soggy once thawed.

If your family loves dessert after dinner but you don’t have a lot of time, these fried apple rings are a simple treat. Pick up a can of ginger ale and a few apples the next time you shop, and see why these apple fritters are the best ever.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• oil for frying, needs to be 1 to 2 inches deep in the pan
• 4 apples
• 1 can ginger ale
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

 

• Heat 1 to 2 inches of oil to 350°F in an electric frying pan or a skillet on the stove.

Notes

• If you don’t have a way to test the temperature of the oil, dip the handle of a wooden spoon in the hot oil. If bubbles gather around it, the oil is ready.
• You can slice the apples first, then use a spoon to remove the core from each of the apple slices.
• Taste test your first batch to make sure the apples are still crisp. Overcooking the apples will result in mushy, soggy fritters. Keep the oil hot while you work, drain the excess oil, and serve the apples soon after frying to keep them crispy as long as possible.
