# Ingredients:
→ Apple Fries Coating
01 -
2 pieces Granny Smith apples
02 -
1/2 cup All-purpose flour
03 -
1/2 cup Powdered sugar, divided for coating
04 -
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
05 -
1/2 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
06 -
1/2 teaspoon Ground cloves
07 -
Cooking oil spray, as needed for air fryer basket
# Steps:
01 -
Wash and dry your apples thoroughly. Peel them if you prefer a softer fry, or leave the peel on for added texture and nutrition.
02 -
Slice the apples into fry-shaped sticks—about 1/2 inch thick. Aim for uniform size so they cook evenly.
03 -
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and half of the powdered sugar.
04 -
Lightly toss the apple sticks in the flour mixture, making sure every piece is evenly coated.
05 -
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes. While it heats, lightly spray your air fryer basket with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
06 -
Arrange the coated apple sticks in a single layer in the basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
07 -
Lightly spritz the tops of the apple fries with a bit more cooking spray. This helps achieve a crispier crust.
08 -
Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The fries should be golden and crisp on the outside.
09 -
Immediately toss the hot apple fries with the remaining powdered sugar or serve with your favorite dip, like caramel or vanilla yogurt.
# Tips:
01 -
For extra crunch, try dipping the apple slices in beaten egg before the dry coating.
02 -
Keep a close eye during the last few minutes of cooking; every air fryer cooks a little differently.
