4.5 from 98 reviews

Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries are a delightful, healthy snack made with fresh apples coated in a cinnamon-sugar mixture and air fried to golden perfection. These fries offer a warm, sweet treat with a crispy outside and tender inside, perfect for a quick dessert or snack without the guilt of deep frying.

Ingredients

Scale

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

  • A little oil spray

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Mix the coating: In a bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and a small pinch of salt, stirring until well blended.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
