Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries are a deliciously sweet and crunchy treat made by coating apple slices in a cinnamon-sugar flour mixture, then air frying them to golden perfection. These apple fries offer a healthier alternative to traditional fried desserts, providing a warm, comforting snack that’s perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 2 large apples, peeled and sliced into fries

Batter

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Slices: Peel and slice the apples into fry-shaped pieces, about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking and perfect crispiness.
  2. Make the Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, and sugar. In a separate bowl, beat the egg until smooth.
  3. Coat the Apples: Dip each apple slice first into the beaten egg to help the coating stick, then dredge it in the cinnamon-sugar flour mixture, ensuring each slice is thoroughly coated.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes to prepare for cooking the apple fries evenly and quickly.
  5. Air Fry the Apple Fries: Arrange the coated apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure all sides get crispy.
  6. Serve Warm: Carefully remove the apple fries from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best warm and crispy texture. They pair wonderfully with a side of vanilla ice cream or caramel dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Choose firm apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith for the best texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and even crisping.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or rice flour.
  • Serve immediately for optimal crispiness as they may soften if left to sit.
