Apples
- 2 large firm apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)
Coating
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A small pinch of salt
Others
- Prepare the apples: Wash the apples thoroughly and cut them into fry-shaped slices. There’s no need to peel them or worry about making them perfectly uniform.
- Mix the coating: In a bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and a small pinch of salt, stirring until well blended.
- Coat the apple fries: Toss the apple slices in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Using your hands to toss works best for even coverage.
- Air fry the apples: Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the coated apple fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Serve hot: Remove the golden brown apple fries from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best crispy and warm experience.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking and crispiness.
- If desired, lightly spray the apple fries with oil before air frying to enhance crispness.
- Enjoy them right away as they tend to soften as they cool.
- Optional: Serve with a side of yogurt or caramel dip for extra flavor.
