Ingredients:
4 red delicious apples or 4 golden delicious apples
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 cups pancake mix ( “complete mix” type)
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar ( powdered)
2 cups vegetable oil
Directions:
Peel and core apples with apple corer.
Slice apples into 1/4″ slices forming apple rings.
Sprinkle apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Mix together pancake mix, water and nutmeg.
Add enough oil to fry pan to have at least 1″ oil (a deep fryer may also be used).
Heat oil to approx 350 degrees F on medium heat.
Coat 3-4 apple slices in batter and fry in oil about 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Remove rings and place on a flat brown paper bag for draining.
Repeat for all of the other apple rings.
Let rings cool for about 5 minutes.
