Instructions
Ready to get started? Here’s how you can create these delightful apple fries in no time:
- Start by peeling and slicing the apples into fry-like shapes. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and cornstarch until smooth.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the basket with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Dip each apple slice into the milk mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring a good coating.
- Arrange the coated apple slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. Look for a golden-brown color as your cue that they’re ready.
- Once done, carefully remove the apple fries from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Pro tip: If you’re like me and love a little extra crunch, consider giving them an additional 2 minutes in the air fryer for that perfect crispiness.
