Apple fries offer a delightful alternative to traditional potato fries, combining the crispy satisfaction of fries with the wholesome goodness of fresh apples. Packed with vitamins, fiber, and natural sweetness, these delightful treats are not only delicious but also highly nutritious.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized apples (any variety you prefer)
- 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (you can use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup as a healthier alternative)
- Cooking spray or a small amount of oil (optional, for coating the apple slices)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
- Wash the apples thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Core the apples and slice them into thin strips or “fries”. You can leave the skin on or peel them, depending on your preference.
- In a bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar.
- If you prefer a slightly crispy texture, lightly coat the apple slices with cooking spray or toss them with a small amount of oil.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the apple slices, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the coated apple slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping.
- Air fry the apple slices at 350°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, remove the apple fries from the air fryer basket and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy your delicious and healthy apple fries as a snack or dessert!
Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar according to your taste preferences. You can also experiment with different spices or toppings for added flavor.
