# What You’ll Need:
→ Apple Fries
01 -
2 large Granny Smith apples, firm and tart
02 -
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
03 -
3 tablespoons powdered sugar, divided
04 -
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 -
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 -
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
07 -
Cooking oil spray, neutral flavor
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Wash and thoroughly dry the apples. Peel them if a softer texture is desired, or leave the skins on for added crunch. Cut apples into sticks, each about 1/2 inch thick and 3 to 4 inches long, ensuring fries are similar in size for even cooking.
02 -
In a shallow bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until evenly combined.
03 -
Toss apple sticks in the flour and spice mixture until every surface is thoroughly coated.
04 -
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking.
05 -
Place coated apple sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Lightly spray the tops with cooking oil. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.
06 -
Immediately after cooking, toss hot apple fries with the remaining powdered sugar. Serve at once with your preferred dip, such as caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Cut apple fries evenly for best results; overcrowding will cause steaming instead of crisping.
02 -
For a gluten-free alternative, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
