Air Fryer Apple Fries
Description
This recipe starts by combining all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves in a bag, creating a dry seasoning mix that coats the apple slices. Crisp Granny Smith apples are peeled, cored, and sliced into fries. These are shaken inside the seasoning bag to fully coat them before placing them spaced apart in an air fryer basket. Light cooking oil spray is applied to promote browning.
The apples cook at 375°F for about 10 minutes total, flipped halfway through to achieve even golden coating. The spices enhance the natural tartness of the apples with warmth and sweetness. The air frying method crisps the coating while keeping the apple slices tender and juicy inside.
The apple fries can be served warm with a dipping sauce if desired, providing a snack or dessert with a texture similar to traditional fries but fruity flavor. They combine familiar autumn spices and a fry shape for a novel but approachable treat.
The supplied notes describe a separate apple bourbon sauce recipe which is not included as a dip here but offers ideas for serving options. The snack is best eaten fresh for crispness.

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
