They say an apple a day will keep the doctor away, but I don’t think those people were talking about these apples. This recipe is a recipe for a tasty trip to the dentist.

Ingredients:

Apple rings:

4 large apples

1 cup flour

¼ teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

1 egg

1 cup buttermilk

Vegetable oil

Topping:

1/3 cup sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, sugar, salt and cinnamon and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, combine the egg and buttermilk.
3. In another small bowl, mix together the topping ingredients
4. Slice apples into ¼ inch slices, and either use a circle cookie cutter or a knife to cut the middle core out.
5. Pat the apple slices down with paper towels to get rid of excess moisture.
6. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan on medium heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Combined the mixtures from the first and second bowls while the vegetable oil is heating.
8. Dip the apple slices into the combined mixture one at a time and put them in the hot oil to fry.
9. Turn the slice over occasionally and make sure each side of the apple slice is a nice golden color.
10. Take out the apple slice and while still hot place it in the toppings mixture and get both sides of the apple slice covered.
11. Set on a plate and serve warm.
