Description
Sweet, crisp, and impossible to resist, these Apple Fries turn everyday apples into a snack that’s part dessert, part comfort food, lightly coated in a cinnamon-sugar mix and cooked until golden.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples, sliced into wedges
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Oil for frying or cooking spray for baking
- Caramel sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Core and slice them into even wedges, about 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick.
- In a bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon until combined.
- Coat each apple wedge in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- For frying, heat oil in a pan to 350–370°F. Fry the wedges in small batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- For baking, preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the coated wedges on a lined baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden.
- Serve warm with caramel sauce for dipping.
Notes
Choose firm apples like Gala or Honeycrisp for best results. Reheat leftovers in the oven to restore crispness.
