Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Caramel sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Step 1: Wash and core the apples. Cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices, then cut the slices into fry shapes.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and salt.
- Step 3: Add the apple fries to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the spice mixture. Drizzle with melted coconut oil or olive oil and toss again to ensure everything is coated.
- Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Step 5: Place the apple fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Step 6: Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the apple fries are tender and slightly crispy. Serve immediately with caramel sauce for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- Store leftover apple fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh.
- To reheat, air fry the apple fries for 2-3 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to re-crisp them slightly.
- Serve these crispy apple fries as a delightful snack or alongside vanilla ice cream for a warm, comforting dessert.
- For extra crispiness, ensure the apple fries are thoroughly coated in the spice mixture and oil before air frying.
