How to Store Apple Fries

If you have any leftover Apple Fries, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to bring back some crispiness.

Tips to Make Apple Fries

• For extra sweetness, sprinkle some extra sugar and cinnamon on top after frying.
• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying; this helps them get crispy.
• Try using different types of apples for various flavors!

Variation

You can make a healthier version by baking the apple fries instead of frying them. Just coat them in a light batter and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until golden.

FAQs

1. Can I use any type of apple?
   Yes! Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are great, but you can use any apple you like.

2. Can I make these gluten-free?
   Absolutely! Just substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.

3. How long do Apple Fries stay fresh?
   They are best eaten the same day. If stored, try to consume them within a couple of days for the best taste and texture.
