Crispy and sweet Apple Fries are a delightful treat made by frying Granny Smith apple slices coated in cornstarch, then dusted with cinnamon sugar. Perfect as a warm snack or dessert served with optional caramel dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Apple Fries:

  • Oil for frying (about 1 inch depth in skillet)
  • 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

Topping:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Optional:

  • Caramel sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: In a medium-sized skillet, pour vegetable oil to about 1 inch depth and heat it over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, preparing for frying.
  2. Slice the apples: Peel the Granny Smith apples and slice them into 1/4 inch thick slices, creating fry-like strips.
  3. Coat and fry the apples: Dip each apple slice in cornstarch to coat evenly, then carefully add them to the hot oil. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the slices start to soften and become slightly crispy on the edges.
  4. Drain excess oil: Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fried apple slices from the oil and place them onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  5. Prepare cinnamon sugar: In a bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon until well mixed.
  6. Coat apple fries with cinnamon sugar: Roll the warm apple fries in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated, enhancing their sweet and spicy flavor.
  7. Serve: Serve the apple fries warm, optionally accompanied by caramel sauce for dipping to add a rich sweetness.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for their tartness and firm texture, which hold up well to frying.
  • Ensure the oil temperature is medium-high to properly fry the apples without burning.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet while frying to maintain oil temperature and even cooking.
  • Apple fries are best eaten fresh and warm for crispiness; leftovers can be reheated briefly in a skillet.
  • Caramel sauce is optional but adds a delicious complement to the apple fries.
