Optional: pinch of nutmeg or cayenne pepper for extra flavor
Optional for serving: powdered sugar or honey drizzle
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
Core the apples and slice them into thin wedges using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife for even thickness.
In a mixing bowl, toss the apple slices with cinnamon (and nutmeg or cayenne pepper if using) until evenly coated.
Arrange apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap for even cooking.
Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the apple fries are golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey if desired.
Notes
Choosing Apples: The best apples for making air fryer apple fries are firm varieties that offer a balance of sweetness and tartness.
Slicing: For the best texture, aim for slices about ¼ inch thick. This ensures that the fries are crispy on the outside while remaining slightly tender on the inside.
Seasoning Variations: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings based on your taste preferences. A little salt can enhance the natural sweetness of the apples.
Storage: While best enjoyed fresh, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to refresh the crispness before serving.
Nutritional Information is estimated based on the ingredients used and may vary depending on the size and variety of apples and additional toppings.
