Recipe

Slice the apple horizontally into rounds about 0.5cm thick.
Use a bottle cap or similar object to press out the core from the center of each apple round to create a donut shape.
In a bowl, combine 2 cups of pancake mix, 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup of water, mixing until the batter flows smoothly without lumps.
In another dish, mix 3 tablespoons of sugar with a small amount of cinnamon powder to prepare cinnamon sugar.
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan to a depth of about one finger joint, and heat it up.
Lightly coat the apple donuts with dry pancake mix to prevent the batter from falling off, then dip them into the prepared batter to evenly coat.
Fry the apples in oil heated to 160–170°C, turning them over occasionally, until both sides turn golden brown.
Remove the fried apple donuts and immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still hot to finish.

Slice apple into 0.5cm thick rounds, remove the center to make donut shapes, and prepare pancake batter.
Dust the apples with dry mix, then coat them in pancake batter and fry until golden and crisp.
Roll the hot apple donuts in cinnamon sugar mixture to finish.

Cooking tips

Slicing the apple too thickly will make the donut shape lose its form, while slicing too thinly reduces the satisfying chewiness—0.5cm thickness is ideal.
Use chopsticks instead of tongs when coating with batter to ensure a thin, even layer.
There’s no need to fully cook the inside of the apple; remove them as soon as the outer batter turns appetizingly golden brown.
