How to do it
- SLICE the apple into thick rings, about ½-inch wide.
- REMOVE the core from each slice using a small round cutter or knife to create a ring.
- PAT the apple slices dry with a paper towel (see Hot Hot Tip).
- WHISK together Vava Vanilla Mix, egg, and milk in a bowl until smooth. Batter should be thick but pourable.
- HEAT a nonstick pan over medium and add a little butter or oil.
- DIP each apple ring into the batter, fully coating both sides.
- PLACE on the hot pan and COOK 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed.
- TRANSFER to a plate and SPRINKLE with cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar if desired.
- SERVE warm as-is or with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
