Air Fryer Fried Apple Fries

Inspired by my son’s favorite snack at Cracker Barrel, Air Fryer Fried Apple Fries are amazing!

My family loved them, and they are a great snack to serve along with an air fryer pork chop dinner, which is what I did, and they also make an amazing side dish or snack for the kids! Who doesn’t love a battered deep=fried apple?

Air Fryer Fried Apple Fries

You really need only a few ingredients to make these delicious air-fried fried apple fries. The coating is excellent, and you can switch it out for regular all-purpose flour, or gluten-free flour, although I find that the almond flour works so much better in the air fryer.

Ingredients Needed To Make Fried Apples:

• Apples
• Almond Flour
• Ground Cinnamon
• Granulated Sugar
• Lemon Juice
• Cooking Spray

How to Make Apple Fries In The Air Fryer

Start by peeling the apples.

Slice your apple into wedges.

Coat your apple wedges with almond flour, both sides. Use your hands to press it down, so it sticks.

Give them a quick soak in the lemon juice.

Spray your basket with cooking spray, and then place your coated apples on top. Spray the coating GENEROUSLY with cooking spray. This will help them crisp up. Set the temperature to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 4-5 minutes.

In a small bowl mix together the ground cinnamon and sugar, and mix well. Roll the fried apples into the mixture.

SERVED WITH HOMEMADE CARAMEL SAUCE

SOME COMMON QUESTIONS ASKED ABOUT THIS RECIPE-

WHAT ARE THE BEST APPLES TO USE?

Any apples, that you purchase at the apple orchard of the grocery store will work in this recipe, some of my favorites are:

• Cortland
• Gala
• Pink Lady
• Braeburn

SHOULD I PEEL THE AIR FRYER APPLE WEDGES?

That is really a personal decision. Either way, it will work in the recipe. I peeled them, since it is easy to do so, and makes the apple really better eating, as the skin tends to make it hard.

WHY ARE THEY CALLED APPLE FRIES

Since they look like wedges and are cut into wedges, they look almost like an apple fry. This is a great treat or snack for the kids and such a healthier side dish!

DIPPER IDEAS FOR APPLE DESSERT FRIES

Traditional these are served with caramel, and I made a great homemade one, but other options are:

• Anything you want

TIPS FOR AIR FRYING APPLE FRIES

• Start by spraying the air fryer basket with olive oil spray

• If you want them to really crisp up, give them a spray of olive oil.
