Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries

Introduction

Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries are a delightful snack or dessert option that combines tender apples with a crisp, sweet cinnamon-sugar crust. Perfect for any season, these fries are quick to make, healthier than traditional fried treats, and pair wonderfully with caramel or whipped cream for dipping.

Ingredients

For the Fries:

• 2 medium to large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala), cut into wedges
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups almond flour (or all-purpose flour as a substitute)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Spray oil (or vegetable oil)

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional Toppings:

• Caramel sauce
• Vanilla ice cream
• Whipped cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the Apples:
   • Wash, core, and slice the apples into wedges (about 12 wedges per apple).
   • Decide whether to peel the apples or leave the skins on, depending on your preference.
2. Make the Coating:
   • In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg and set aside.
   • In a second shallow bowl, mix almond flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
   • In a third bowl, prepare the cinnamon-sugar coating by combining white sugar and cinnamon.
3. Coat the Apple Wedges:
   • Dip each apple wedge into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
   • Roll the apple wedge in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
4. Air Fry the Apples:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C).
   • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil.
   • Arrange the coated apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
   • Spray the tops of the apple wedges lightly with oil.
   • Cook for 4–5 minutes or until the coating is golden and crispy. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
5. Add Cinnamon Sugar:
   • While still warm, sprinkle the cooked apple wedges with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
6. Repeat:
   • Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining apple wedges. Clean the air fryer basket between batches if any coating residue remains.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the apple fries immediately with caramel sauce, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream for dipping.
