Air Fryer Apple Fries are the perfect sweet treat! A great way to make a unique dessert!

EQUIPMENT

  • Air Fryer
  • Apple Peeper
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Mixing Bowl with Lid
  • Slotted Spoon, or Wire Ladle

INGREDIENTS
  

  • 2 Honeycrisp apples, large
  • 1.5 cup flour
  • 4 tbsp apple pie spice
  • 5 tbsp cinnamon, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Use an apple peeler to peel the skins off each apple. Cut apples in half, then into ½ inch wedges.
  • Whisk together the flour, apple pie spice and 4 tbsp cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  • Transfer the flour mixture to a large plastic bowl with a lid then add all the apple wedges. Shake vigorously to coat all sides of the apples.
  • Use a wire ladle (or large slotted spoon) to remove the apple wedges from the Tupperware bowl. Shake off the excess flour mixture and place the wedges on a plate to prepare them for dredging.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Then dredge a few apples at a time in the egg mixture and return the wedges to the excess flour mixture and shake them all again to create a second coating.
  • Mix together the brown sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and set aside.
  • Add the coated apple fries to the air fryer basket in a single layer (you will need to make these in two batches).
  • Liberally spray the top facing apples with vegetable or canola oil then sprinkle some of the brown sugar/cinnamon coating on top of each apple, cook for 6 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit then sprinkle some of the brown sugar/cinnamon coating on top of each apple.
  • Open the basket, flip the apples, spray and sprinkle the other sides of the apples, then return the basket and cook for an additional 6 minutes.
  • Serve with caramel sauce or a simple powdered sugar glaze!

NOTES

  • To make a quick powdered sugar glaze that tastes amazing with apple fries, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of apple cider. Whisk until smooth. If you don’t have apple cider, milk or half and half will also work.
  • Make sure to leave room between your apple fries in the air fryer. You don’t want them to be touching, or the apple fries won’t develop a crispy crust.
