Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large large apples Choose crisp varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for that perfect crunch!
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice Helps to keep the apples from browning and adds a zesty zing.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Envelops the fries in warm sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or honey Customize your sweetness; honey adds a floral note.
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (optional) Adds an extra crunch.
  • 1 tablespoon oil Helps with crisping.
  • 1 pinch salt Balances the sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the apples thoroughly to remove any wax. Core and slice them into thin, fry-like strips.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the apple strips with lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until every slice is coated.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over your apple mixture, giving it a light toss again.
Cooking
  1. Lay the apple strips evenly in the air fryer basket. Set your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  2. Keep an eye on your apple fries during the last few minutes to make sure they don’t overcook.

Notes

Enjoy warm, drizzled with caramel or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store sliced apples with lemon juice in the refrigerator for up to a few hours before cooking.
