This quick and easy recipe for apple fritter rings stars juicy apple slices bathed in buttermilk batter and fried to golden brown perfection.

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
4 large apples, such as Fuji or Gala
Vegetable oil, for frying
Homemade or store-bought caramel sauce, for serving
Circular cookie cutters in graduated sizes; Deep-fry thermometer

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar and salt. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk and then whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture just until combined.
  • Slice the apples into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Using the cookie cutters, cut each apple slice into rings, discarding the center core.
  • Add 3 inches of oil to a large heavy-bottomed pot set over medium heat. Line a sheet tray with paper towels.
  • When the oil reaches 350°F on your deep-fry thermometer, begin by dipping each apple slice in the batter, shaking off any excess then carefully lowering it into the oil. Add several apple slices to the oil but do not overcrowd the pot. Flip the apple slices occasionally so that they brown on all sides then using tongs, transfer them onto the paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat the battering and frying process with the remaining apple rings.
  • Serve the apple rings immediately with caramel sauce for dipping.

SAUTéED APPLE RINGS



Sautéed Apple Rings image

I came across this utterly simple idea in Deborah Madison's "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone." She serves hers as a dessert with ice cream, a lovely use for the apples (which she also embellishes with raisins and pine nuts). I think they make a great addition to the Thanksgiving buffet, to go with the turkey along with cranberry sauce. Or serve them with your latkes next month! Breakfast is another meal where these are welcome, right on top of your whole wheat buttermilk pancakes. I find that the apples will caramelize most efficiently if you don't crowd the pan, so I begin by sautéing the apples in 2 batches, then I combine the batches for the final addition of vanilla and optional brandy or calvados. Both tender apples like McIntosh, Gala, Macoun and Cortland, as well as firmer apples like Braeburns, work well in this dish.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large apples
1 lemon wedge
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon raw brown (turbinado) sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons calvados or brandy (optional)

Steps:

  • Core apples and rub inside with lemon wedge. Peel if desired (I don't). Slice about 1/4 inch thick, or a little bit thicker.
  • Melt half the butter over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet. When it stops foaming (wait this long so that the apples sear when you add them to the pan) add half the apples, half the sugar and half the cinnamon. Cook, flipping apple rings often, until apples are caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes. Test, using the tip of a knife or the edge of a spoon, to see if the apples are soft all the way through. Remove to a bowl. Repeat with remaining apples, butter, sugar and cinnamon. When second batch is caramelized return first batch to pan. Add vanilla and brandy if using and continue to cook, flipping apples, until the liquid evaporates. Transfer to a bowl or serving dish. Serve warm.

CARAMELIZED APPLES



Caramelized Apples image

These caramelized apples are meant to be slightly sweet, not overpowering and sugary, so they're versatile in nature. Spicy-tart and thoroughly warming, these apples are a fabulous addition to crepes or homemade ice cream. They're equally at home as an unexpected garnish for mildly spicy grilled chicken or a tropical menu from Martinique. Cook's note: For a delicious "cheater" dessert, fill a store-bought tart shell with these apples. With the homemade goodness of the apples and apple cider reduction sauce, nobody will guess your secret!

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter
5 spicy-sweet crisp apples (Jonagold, Crispin, Honeycrisp)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
1/3 cup apple cider
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, as needed

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the apples to the pan and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
  • Sauté the apples, stirring frequently, for 6-8 minutes, until they just start to turn tender.
  • Sprinkle the apples with the remaining sugar, cinnamon, and lemon zest.
  • Toss the mixture gently and cook over medium heat for an additional 2 minutes, until the sugar begins to caramelize and the apples are crisp-tender.
  • Transfer the apples from the skillet to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Turn the heat to high and add the apple cider to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits.
  • Reduce the heat slightly and allow the cider and the pan juices to simmer for 1-3 minutes, until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
  • If you desire a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in a teaspoon of water, stir it into the sauce, and allow it to thicken for a moment.
  • Pour the finished sauce over the warm apples and serve immediately.
