Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Caramel sauce or maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Step 1: Wash and core the apples. Cut each apple into 1/4-inch thick slices, then cut each slice into fry shapes, about 1/2 inch wide.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and salt.
- Step 3: Add the apple fries to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the dry mixture. Drizzle the melted coconut oil or butter over the apple fries and toss again to ensure they are lightly coated.
- Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
- Step 5: Place the apple fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Step 6: Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the apple fries are tender and slightly golden brown. Serve immediately with caramel sauce or maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
- Store leftover apple fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh.
- For the crispiest reheating, air fry leftover apple fries at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through.
- Serve these sweet fries with a dollop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert twist.
- Chef's tip: For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of brown sugar to the dry mixture before coating the apples.
