Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add sugar and salt. Add the sparkling water, egg, and melted butter. With a wire whisk or hand blender, mix this into a smooth batter.
Peel and core the apples. Cut them into ½” evenly thick slices. You can sprinkle some lemon juice on the slices to keep them from browning.
Heat the oil to about 300˚F (150˚C). Dust the apple rings with flour, shake off any excess flour, and coat them with batter.
Fry the battered apple rings until golden-brown on one side. Carefully flip them and fry them on the other side until golden-brown.
With a slotted spoon or forks, remove the apple rings and transfer them to a paper-towel lined plate.
Optional: While still hot, dust them with powdered sugar and/or cinnamon powder.
