Pour your salted caramel into a bowl and set aside.
Slice the apples about 1 centimeter thick and remove the core from the center.
Place the apple on the handle of a wooden spoon or thick skewer (for easier dipping)
Dip the apples in the caramel, while spinning the spoon with the apple, and then place on parchment lined baking tray.
Freeze the caramel-covered apples for one hour.
Prepare the batter by mixing the flour, egg, baking powder, sugar, apple pie spice and milk in a medium bowl.
Using a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat about 3 inches of oil over medium heat.
Line a baking sheet or tray with paper towels and set aside.
When the oil reaches 380°F on your deep-fry thermomer, dip each apple slice in the batter. Shake off any excess and then carefully lower each apple ring in the oil, flipping occasionally with tongs. fry until golden brown.
Transfer the rings onto the paper towel-lined baking sheet.
Repeat the battering and frying with the remaining apple rings.
Add a light dusting of the cinnamon-sugar mixture to the top of the fried apple fritter rings.
Notes
- Make sure your oil is hot enough when frying or the batter will come off.- The apples/caramel need to be frozen solid if you want to have crisp apples. If they are not frozen solid, the apples are softer.
