Ingredients
- 2 medium apples
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
- Core the apples and cut them into fry shapes about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a small bowl mix the melted butter and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl combine the sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Toss the apple slices in the butter mixture, then coat them evenly with the cinnamon sugar.
- Lightly brush or spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil and arrange the apple fries in a single layer.
- Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until the fries are golden and crisp.
- Remove the fries and let them cool for 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Keep the apple fries in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Shake the basket halfway through to prevent the fries from sticking together.
- Serve with caramel sauce, yogurt dip, or vanilla ice cream for added flavor.
- These fries are best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispness.
