Ingredients
Scale
Oil
- ½ gallon canola oil, peanut oil, or vegetable oil
Uncrustable Sandwiches
- 20 Uncrustables, thawed (10 grape flavor, 10 strawberry flavor)
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Add the oil to a dutch oven and set it over medium heat on the stovetop. Wait about five minutes for the oil to heat until it reaches 375-400°F, indicated by shimmering and dancing oil.
- Prepare Uncrustables: While the oil is heating, remove the Uncrustables from their packaging and have them ready for frying.
- Fry the Uncrustables: Carefully add 3-4 Uncrustables at a time into the hot oil. Fry each side for less than a minute, flipping them gently with a spider strainer to ensure both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain Oil: Remove the fried Uncrustables from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the sandwiches are still warm, roll each one in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated on all sides. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature is between 375-400°F for crispiness without excessive greasiness.
- Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and even cooking.
- Use a spider strainer or slotted spoon for safe flipping and removing.
- Serve warm for best taste and texture.
- Leftovers can be reheated in an oven to regain crispiness but are best enjoyed fresh.
