Easy Apple Ring Donuts

Gina
Apple ring donuts are thick slices of apples that have been cut into rings then coated in batter and deep-fried to perfection. They look exactly like donuts but are actually apples…cool right? The best part is you can decorate them and make them look even yummier with couverture chocolate or just coat them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
