Pour oil in a small sauce pot. With a digital thermometer bring the oil to 350 degrees F.
In a bowl, mix together water and pancake mix. If the pancake mix is too thick then add a little more water. The mix should lightly coat the outside of the apple. Details of this are in the post above.
In a small bowl mix together cinnamon and sugar.
Cut apple with an apple corer. Remove skin. Slice the slices in half lengthwise again. Place in batter using tongs.
Place into the oil with tongs and fry for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Fry no more than 3 slices at a time unless your frying in a larger pan. Remove with spider and set aside. Let excess oil drip off then toss in the slices in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
