### **Step-by-Step Instructions:**
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Apples**
1. Begin by washing and drying your apples. Cut off the tops and bottoms, then slice them into 1/4-inch rings. Use a small round cutter or a knife to remove the core from each apple slice to create the perfect ring shape.
2. Set the apple rings aside, and prepare your batter.
#### **Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Sugar Coating**
1. In a shallow bowl, mix together the **1/2 cup of sugar** and **1 tablespoon of cinnamon**. This will be the cinnamon sugar coating that adds a sweet and spicy kick to your apple rings.
#### **Step 3: Prepare the Batter**
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the **flour**, **1 tablespoon of sugar**, **baking powder**, **salt**, and **1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon**.
2. Add the **milk**, **egg**, and **vanilla extract** to the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the apple rings but not too runny.
#### **Step 4: Heat the Oil**
1. In a large frying pan or deep skillet, heat about 1 to 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small bit of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and floats to the surface, the oil is ready for frying.
