Enjoy a healthy and delicious snack with these Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries. Made with fresh apples coated in a cinnamon-sugar mixture and lightly air fried to golden perfection, these fries are a guilt-free treat that’s perfect for any time of the day.

Ingredients

Apple Fries

  • 2 large firm apples (Fuji or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A small pinch of salt
  • A little oil spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly and cut them into fry shapes. There's no need to peel them or worry about making them perfectly uniform.
  2. Mix the Coating: In a bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and salt. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
  3. Coat the Apples: Toss the apple fries in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they’re fully coated. Using your hands helps to evenly cover all the pieces.
  4. Air Fry the Fries: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Arrange the coated apple fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  5. Serve Hot: Remove the apple fries when they are golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately while they are warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can use other firm apple varieties like Granny Smith if you prefer a tarter flavor.
  • Adjust the sugar and cinnamon quantities based on your sweetness preference.
  • Use a light oil spray to help the coating crisp up without adding too much fat.
  • Shaking the basket halfway through cooking ensures all fries cook evenly and become crispy.
