Steps:
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the egg and buttermilk and mix well.
- In a third dish, mix the remaining ⅓ cup sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and reserve for topping.
- Slice apples into ¼-inch slices. Using a biscuit cutter, remove the cores along with the seeds, leaving ¼-inch-wide rings. Pat the apple rings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- As the oil heats, combine the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture together into the batter, mixing well to remove any lumps.
- 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.
- Gently place the rings in the hot oil and fry in small batches, turning so that they brown on both sides.
- Once the apple rings are golden and crispy, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- 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.
- Cinnamon Sugar Topping.
- - ⅓ cup sugar.
- - 2 teaspoons cinnamon.

Steps:
- Set broiler rack about 4 inches from heat and preheat broiler.
- Core apples and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch rings, discarding ends. Brush rings with butter on both sides and arrange in one layer in a shallow baking pan. Broil apple rings until edges just begin to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle rings, evenly with cinnamon sugar and broil until glazed and golden, about 2 minutes more.
- Serve apples with ice cream.
Tips:
- Choose firm, tart apples: Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples are good choices because they hold their shape well during baking.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the apples: This will help to prevent the apples from bruising.
- Be careful not to overcook the apples: They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Serve the apple rings warm or at room temperature: They can be served on their own, with ice cream, or with whipped cream.
- For a fun twist, try using different flavored apples: Such as Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Fuji.
- You can also add different spices to the cinnamon sugar mixture: Such as nutmeg, allspice, or ginger.
- If you don't have a baking ring, you can use a regular baking sheet: Just be sure to grease the sheet well so that the apple rings don't stick.
Conclusion:
Mother's Cinnamon Apple Rings are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover apples, and they can be made ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to serve them.
