Apple Fries
Apple Fries are a fun and delicious twist on traditional fries! Crispy and sweet, they are perfect for dipping in caramel sauce.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Choose any type of apple you prefer.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour blend.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
- Vegetable oil, for frying Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying.
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar For coating the apple fries.
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon For coating the apple fries.
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade) For serving.
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, fry-shaped pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually pour in the sparkling water, stirring until the batter is smooth.
Cooking
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip each apple slice into the batter, letting the excess drip off.
- Carefully place the battered apple slices into the hot oil. Fry them in batches, turning occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the apple fries with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
Coating
- In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss the warm apple fries in the mixture until they are well coated.
Serving
- Serve the apple fries warm with caramel dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
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. For extra sweetness, sprinkle some extra sugar and cinnamon on top after frying. You can make a healthier version by baking the apple fries instead of frying them.
