THESE APPLE FRIES ARE BATTERED, COOKED UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN, THEN COATED IN CINNAMON SUGAR AND SERVED WITH CARAMEL DIP. THE ABSOLUTE BEST WAY TO EAT APPLES!
Forget potato french fries, these apple fries are where it’s at! Part apple pie, part churro, these treats are the perfect dessert or party snack. These apple fries are one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, this recipe is a MUST TRY. It’s apple slices coated in batter, then fried and rolled in cinnamon sugar. While these apple fries are incredible on their own, they are even better when you add caramel for dipping.
The first thing you need to do to make apple fries is choose your apples. There are countless varieties of apples, but some of them are not suited for frying as they’ll turn to mush. I highly recommend using Granny Smith apples for this recipe, they hold their shape beautifully and are available at every grocery store. You’ll need to core and peel your apples, then cut them into wedges. Be sure to cut your apples into similar sized wedges so they cook at the same rate.
The next step is to prepare the batter, which is similar to a pancake batter. While you make your batter, heat up some oil for frying. Each apple slice gets dunked in the batter then goes into the frying pan until golden brown. Finally, roll each apple slice in cinnamon sugar as it comes out of the fryer; be sure to do this right away as the sugar mixture sticks best when the apples are hot.
