1
In a medium-sized bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
-
2
In a small bowl, combine the egg and buttermilk and mix well.
-
3
In a third dish, mix the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and reserve for topping.

4
Slice apples into 1/4-inch slices. Using a biscuit cutter, remove the cores along with the seeds, leaving 1/4-inch-wide rings. Pat the apple rings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
-
5
Over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
6
As the oil heats, combine the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture together into the batter, mixing well to remove any lumps.
-
7
Dip the apple rings, one at a time, into the batter. Tap apple rings against the side of the bowl to remove any excess batter.
-
8
Gently place the rings in the hot oil and fry in small batches, turning so that they brown on both sides.
-
9
Once the apple rings are golden and crispy, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
-
10
Dip each apple ring into the cinnamon sugar and coat evenly. Place on a wire cooling rack - setting the fried-and-coated rings on a plate will result in soggy apple rings! - and serve warm.
