🍎 Air Fryer Apple Fries 🍭
Ingredients:
4 medium-sized apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala work best)
2 tbsp light brown sugar or coconut sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for flavor boost)
Cooking spray or a small amount of coconut oil (optional)
Instructions:
Prep the Apples:
Wash and core the apples. Cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/2-inch thick, to ensure uniform cooking.
Toss with Flavor:
In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the apple slices and drizzle with vanilla extract. Toss until each piece is evenly coated.
Optional Oil Boost:
Lightly mist the coated apple fries with cooking spray or rub with a small amount of coconut oil. This helps them crisp up better in the air fryer.
Air Fry to Perfection:
Place the apple fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy around the edges.
Cool and Serve:
Let the apple fries cool for a few minutes before serving—they crisp up more as they cool. Enjoy plain or with a side of yogurt dip, caramel sauce, or peanut butter.
