How to Make Apple Fritter Rings

1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vegetable oil until light and frothy.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Peel, core, and slice 2-3 medium apples into 1/2-inch thick rings.
5. Heat 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil in an electric skillet or large, heavy-bottomed skillet to 375°F (190°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.
6. Dip apple rings into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
7. Carefully place a few apple rings at a time into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
10. While the fritters are still warm, toss them gently in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
11. Serve the Apple Fritter Rings warm and enjoy! They are best served immediately.
