Ingredients

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
Vegetable oil (for frying; about 4 cups)
1 cup gluten-free old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup rice flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup (or more) club soda
2 large crisp apples, peeled, cored with an apple corer, sliced into 1/4"-thick rings

Special Equipment

A deep-fry thermometer

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow bowl; set aside.

    Step 2

    Fit a large pot with thermometer and pour in oil to measure 3". Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 375°F.

    Meanwhile, pulse oats in a food processor to a coarse powder.

    Working in batches and maintaining oil temperature, dip apple rings in batter and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes.
