🍎 Apple Fries
These **Apple Fries** are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in a sweet cinnamon-sugar coating — a fun, healthy(ish) dessert or snack that kids and adults alike will love!
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- 1/2 cup pancake mix or flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1/4 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 1 tbsp melted butter (optional, for brushing)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Prep the apples: Core the apples and slice them into fry-shaped sticks (about 1/2 inch thick).
- Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk together pancake mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, milk, and egg until smooth.
- Dip the apples: Toss apple sticks in the batter to coat evenly.
- Air fry: Place coated apple sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Coat in cinnamon sugar: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. While apples are warm, toss them in the mixture.
- Serve warm with caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Tip: For extra crunch, add 1/4 cup crushed cornflakes to the batter. Serve immediately for best texture!
