Notes / Tips

  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith so the fries hold their shape better.

  • Do not overcrowd the basket or the apple fries will steam instead of crisp.

  • Coat in cinnamon sugar only after air frying so the coating stays dry and sparkly.

  • These are best served warm right after cooking.

Variations

  • Add a pinch of apple pie spice for a warmer fall flavor.

  • Use brown sugar instead of white sugar for a deeper caramel-like taste.

  • Serve with vanilla yogurt or a light cream cheese dip if you want a dessert-style version.
