Ingredients

For the Funnel Cake

  • 1 c Bisquick
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • ½ C whole milk
  • 2 apples pared, cored, and cut in rings ½ thick pared, cored, and cut in rings ½ thick

Caramel Sauce

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 C dark brown sugar
  • C heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

How to Make Funnel Cake Rings

  • Core your apples and slice into 'rings' about a ½ inch thick. You are slicing sideways, not up and down as probably typically do. You'll typically get four rings per apple. 
  • Fill the deep fryer or a deep pan with fresh frying oil. Turn on for it to heat. 
  • Add egg and whole milk in a bowl with the Bisquick. Mix all of the ingredients together with a spoon. Whisk to remove any lumps. 
  • Test to see if the oil is hot enough by dropping a few small drops of batter into it.  After they sizzle and turn brown then your fryer is ready for the apple rings.
  • Put in one apple ring at a time making sure each side is completely coated. (Our fryer will hold four rings at a time.)
  • Watch carefully. When the battered apple ring begins to turn brown, flip it over to the over side with a fork. Continue to watch so they don't burn.
  • Cover a baking sheet with paper towels. When both sides of the cooked apple rings are done, remove them from the deep fryer and drain on paper towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Allow funnel cake rings to cool enough to touch.

How To Make the Caramel Sauce

  • Melt butter in a double boiler.
  • Add the brown sugar stirring for 2 minutes. 
  • Pour in the heavy cream stirring for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Take off the top half of the double boiler and add the vanilla.  Stir well to make sure that the vanilla is blended into the sauce.
  • Pour into a jar allowing to cool completely. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
