Air Fryer Apple Fries Recipe
These crispy, cinnamon-sugar-coated Air Fryer Apple Fries are a delightful and healthier snack or dessert. Made with fresh apples, a light coating, and air-fried to golden perfection, they offer the crunch you crave with less guilt!
Ingredients
- 2 medium apples preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg optional
- 1/4 cup sugar granulated or brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Wash and dry the apples. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick fry-shaped pieces.
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and sugar.
- Make the Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk until well combined.
- Coat the Apple Fries: Dip each apple slice into the egg wash, then coat it in the dry mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Air Fry the Apple Fries: Place the apple fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once done, remove the fries from the air fryer. Serve warm with your favorite dip or drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover apple fries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 375°F to restore crispiness.
- Variation: Add shredded coconut to the coating for a tropical twist or drizzle the fries with melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
- Apple Variety: Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples work best for their tartness and firmness, but you can experiment with other apple varieties.
