What is the frying time for the apple doughnuts?

Fry the battered apple rings for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.

How do I store leftover apple doughnuts?

Store leftover apple doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate and consume within 3 days.

Can I substitute the self-raising flour with all-purpose flour?
