Description
Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries are a fun and healthier twist on traditional fries. Coated in a warm, spiced mixture and air-fried to crispy perfection, these apple fries are a delightful snack or dessert that’s sweet, crispy, and irresistible.
Ingredients
2 Granny Smith apples
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cloves
Spray cooking oil
Instructions
- In a large resealable bag, combine the flour, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Seal the bag and shake well until evenly mixed.
- Peel the apples and slice them into ½-inch wedges, discarding the core. Cut the wedges into fry-like strips.
- Place the apple strips into the bag of dry mixture. Seal the bag and shake until all pieces are well coated.
- Arrange the coated apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. Lightly spritz with cooking oil.
- Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 5 minutes. Open the air fryer, flip the apple fries, and spritz with more oil if needed. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully remove the apple fries and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Notes
- Granny Smith apples provide a tart flavor that contrasts nicely with the sweet coating, but you can use sweeter varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp for a different flavor profile.
- For extra sweetness, sprinkle more powdered sugar on top of the apple fries after cooking.
- These fries can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes for crispiness.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Serve with caramel sauce, vanilla yogurt, or chocolate dip for a richer experience.
