1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients

1 cup whole milk

→ Cooking Aids
11 -
Butter or oil, for cooking
12 -
Maple syrup, for serving (optional)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Core the apples and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Combine the apple rings with lemon juice and cinnamon in a bowl and let rest for 10 minutes to enhance flavor.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
03 -
In a separate bowl, beat the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully incorporated.
04 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep batter light.
05 -
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Dip each apple ring into the batter, place on the skillet, and spoon additional batter over the top. Cook for 3-4 minutes until edges set, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
06 -
Repeat the process with remaining apple rings. Serve warm with maple syrup if desired.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Allowing the apple rings to rest in lemon juice and cinnamon prevents browning and infuses subtle flavor.
