Sift the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder into a large bowl.

Add egg and cinnamon, and stir into a smooth batter
Let the batter rest a bit while preparing the apples.
Peel and core the apples.
Then cut into slices about 2 cm thick.
Drizzle a little lemon juice on the apples so they don't turn brown
Place the oil in a heavy frying pan to about 2cm depth
Heat oil on medium heat to about 180 C
Dip an apple slice into dusting flour, then batter the rings using two forks to move them in the batter and then carefully place them in the hot oil.

Process the remaining apple slices in the same way.
Place the finished slices on kitchen paper to drain
Make a mixture of sugar and cinnamon and roll the apple slices in the cinnamon sugar while they are still hot
