What are Apple Fries?

Apple fries are a lot like French Fries but made with tart apples. Apples are peeled, cored, and sliced then tossed in cornstarch.

Then the apple slices are then placed in fresh oil for a few minute to deep fry. Fried apple wedges are then tossed in a cinnamon sugar mixture. They have a tender inside but cooked with a crispy texture.

This is the perfect treat any day of the year.

Serves: 4 

• Large Tart/ Crisp Apples

How to Make Apple Fries: 

• Step 1 – Heat Oil – Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large pot until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  

• Step 2 – Prepare Apples – Peel, core and slice the apples (approximately the size of French fries).  

• Step 3 – Cornstarch – Toss the apple slices in the cornstarch until the slices are well coated with the cornstarch. 

• Step 4 – Whisk Sugar and Cinnamon – In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and ground cinnamon.  Set aside.  

• Step 5 – Fry Fresh Apples – Fry the apple slices in the hot oil (in batches) for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Flipping halfway through the cook time and until the apples are soft and are lightly golden brown.  

• Step 6 – Remove Apples – Then remove the apples with a slotted spoon. Move to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess oil. 
• Step 7 – Continue Frying – Continue this process until all the apples are fried. 
• Step 8 – Cinnamon and Sugar – Roll the apple fries in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. 

Substitutions and Additions:

• Apples – Feel free to use different types of apples for this recipe. Choose from granny smith apples, pink lady, or honey crisp. For a sweeter apple choose from fuji or golden delicious. Depending on the apple you choose it may change the flavor or texture.
• All Purpose Flour – We used cornstarch in this recipe, but you substitute with flour. This helps to give a crispy coating on the apple fries.
• Sugar Substitute – If you prefer to use a sugar substitute that fits into you diet, you can. Choose from coconut sugar or raw can sugar. It might change the taste slightly.
• Spices – We love the flavor that cinnamon gives the apple fries. But you can also use nutmeg, apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice.
• Vegetable Oil – We used vegetable oil in this recipe but you can use other high smoke point oil option. Canola Oil or sunflower oil are a great option.

How to Serve Apple Fries:

This easy recipe can be served in many different ways. We have enjoyed them as a snack, dessert and even as a side dish. Here are some of our favorite ways to serve apple pie fries.

• Dipping Sauce – Serve these apple fries with a caramel dipping sauce or fruit dipping sauce. We love to mix marshmallow cream with cream cheese.
• Whipped Cream – Place apple fries in a bowl and top with whipped cream for a delicious treat.
• Ice Cream – Serve these apple fries with a scoop of your favorite ice cream. We love vanilla but a caramel ice cream would be delicious.
• Side Dish – This is a great side dish for breakfast. Serve with your eggs and bacon for a sweet and savory breakfast.

Recipe Tips:

• Slicing Apples – When preparing the apples for frying, make sure to cut them about the same size. We recommend cutting them about ½ inch thick. About the same size of French Fries.
• Prepare Apples – Prepare apples by slicing, peeling and coring apples to prepare to fry them.
• Frying the Apples – Fry the apples in a single layer in the hot oil. Make sure to flip to cook both sides.

How to Store Leftovers:

We recommend eating apple fries as soon as you cook them. If you do have leftovers, store in the fridge. Make sure to place in an air tight container. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
