Ingredients
Frying Ingredients
- Vegetable oil (for frying), about 1 to 1 ½ inches depth
Main Ingredients
- 1 box (4 count) strawberry Uncrustable sandwiches, thawed and unwrapped
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 heart-shaped cookie cutter
Instructions
- Prepare the Uncrustables: Unwrap the strawberry Uncrustable sandwiches and use the heart cookie cutter to cut out the center of each sandwich, creating a heart-shaped hole.
- Heat the oil: In a large Dutch oven or deep frying pot, pour enough vegetable oil to reach about 1 to 1 ½ inches in depth and heat it to 375°F (190°C), using a cooking thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.
- Fry the Uncrustables: Carefully add the Uncrustable sandwiches to the hot oil. Fry them for 30 to 45 seconds on each side, flipping gently with tongs or a slotted metal spoon to ensure even frying and a golden, crispy exterior.
- Drain excess oil: Once fried, transfer the Uncrustables to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil and cool slightly.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar coating: In a medium bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Coat the fried treats: While the fried Uncrustables are still warm, dip each one into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating them evenly for a sweet, flavorful finish.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve these warm, crispy, and sweet fried strawberry Uncrustables immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Maintain the oil temperature at 375°F to achieve a crispy texture and prevent the sandwiches from absorbing too much oil.
- Do not overcrowd the frying pot; fry in batches if necessary to keep the oil temperature steady.
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to handle the delicate sandwiches carefully to avoid breaking the heart shape.
- Serve immediately after coating to enjoy the optimum crispiness and gooey inside.
- Leftovers can be gently reheated in an air fryer or oven, but are best fresh.
