Ingredients

Scale

Apple Fries

  • 2 large firm apples (Fuji or Honeycrisp), washed and cut into fry shapes
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A small pinch of salt
  • Oil spray, for greasing the air fryer basket

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly and cut them into fry-shaped slices. There’s no need to peel the apples or worry about perfectly uniform cuts.
  2. Mix Coating Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the sugar, ground cinnamon, cornstarch, and a small pinch of salt until evenly blended.
  3. Coat the Apples: Toss the apple slices in the cinnamon-sugar-cornstarch mixture until each piece is well coated. Using your hands helps to evenly cover all slices.
  4. Air Fry the Apple Fries: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Arrange the coated apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Spray lightly with oil to promote crispness. Air fry for about 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to prevent sticking and ensure uniform browning.
  5. Serve: Remove the apple fries when they are golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately to enjoy them hot and at their best texture.

Notes

  • You can use any firm apple variety, but Fuji or Honeycrisp work best for a crisp texture.
  • Ensure apple slices are in a single layer in the air fryer basket to avoid sogginess.
  • If you prefer a sweeter snack, increase the sugar to 3 tablespoons.
  • For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on the fries right after cooking.
  • Consume immediately for optimal crispness, as they may soften when cooled.
