Description
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, Air Fryer Apple Fries are a quick and sweet snack coated in cinnamon sugar and perfect for dipping in caramel or yogurt.
Ingredients
- Apples (peeled, sliced into fries): 2 large – The fresh, juicy base of the recipe.
- Cornstarch: 2 tablespoons – Helps create a light, crispy outer layer.
- Granulated Sugar: 3 tablespoons – Adds sweetness and helps caramelize the exterior.
- Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon – Brings that cozy, spiced warmth.
- Melted Butter (optional): 1 tablespoon – For brushing after frying if extra richness is desired.
- Caramel Sauce or Vanilla Yogurt (for dipping): As needed – Takes the whole experience over the top.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F for about 3–5 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. In another bowl, toss apple slices in cornstarch to coat evenly.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the Dish: Arrange coated apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, without overcrowding.
- Cook to Perfection: Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges.
- Finishing Touches: While still hot, sprinkle or toss with cinnamon sugar. Brush lightly with melted butter if using.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with caramel sauce, vanilla yogurt, or even whipped cream for dipping.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
- Shake the basket halfway for even browning.
- Don’t overcrowd—cook in batches if needed.
