Description

Enjoy these crispy and sweet Air Fryer Apple Fries, coated in a cinnamon sugar mix, perfect for a healthy snack or dessert any time of year. With a quick prep and air frying method, they come out perfectly crunchy on the outside while tender on the inside, accompanied by a smooth vanilla icing dip.

Ingredients

Apple Fries

  • 2 large Granny Smith apples
  • 1 cup (130 grams) all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon apple pie spice
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar
  • Cooking spray or oil spray

Dip

  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel the Granny Smith apples and slice them into thin strips using a sharp knife or fry cutter. Set aside the apple fries for coating.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the flour with the apple pie spice, whisking thoroughly to blend all the flavors evenly.
  3. Whisk Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the three large eggs until smooth and uniform.
  4. Coat Apple Fries: Working in small batches, toss the apple fries in the flour and spice mixture. Use a slotted spoon to scoop them and shake off any excess flour. Dip each strip into the whisked eggs, shake off excess liquid, then dip back into the flour mixture to coat well, again shaking off the excess flour to ensure crispiness.
  5. Air Fry Setup: Place coated apple fries on a wire rack lined with parchment paper to catch any flour drips. Preheat the air fryer to 325ºF. Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket generously with cooking spray or oil spray.
  6. Cook in Air Fryer: Arrange the apple fries in the basket in a single layer without overlapping. Spray the tops lightly with cooking oil. Air fry for 5 minutes, then turn the fries, spray again, and air fry for another 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
  7. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Remove fries from the basket and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while still hot, allowing the sugar to stick and add sweetness.
  8. Repeat: Cook any remaining batches similarly and toss them with cinnamon sugar while warm.
  9. Prepare the Dip: Whisk together confectioners sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of whole milk in a small bowl. Add additional milk if needed to achieve a smooth, drizzle-worthy consistency.
  10. Serve: Serve apple fries warm immediately with the vanilla icing as a dip or drizzled on top for extra sweetness and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure you shake off excess flour after coating to achieve a crispy texture in the air fryer.
  • Spraying oil before and after cooking helps the fries become golden and prevents sticking.
  • Use tart Granny Smith apples for the best contrast between sweet and tangy flavors.
  • The cinnamon sugar coating adds a delicious kick—do not skip this step.
  • Prepare the vanilla icing dip fresh and serve immediately for best taste.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; check fries for crispiness toward the end of cooking.
