Cinnamon Sugar Apple Fries (Print-Friendly Version)

Crisp baked apple fries coated in warm cinnamon sugar for a wholesome, sweet treat.

# Ingredients List:

→ Fruits

01 - 4 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Fuji, or Gala)

→ Coating

02 - 30 grams unsalted butter, melted (alternatively coconut or vegetable oil)
03 - 50 grams granulated sugar (or coconut sugar/brown sugar)
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
06 - Pinch of salt

# Detailed Cooking Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Wash and core the apples, then slice into fries approximately 0.6 to 1.3 cm thick.
03 - Pat the apple fries dry thoroughly using a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
04 - Combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg if using, and salt in a small bowl, whisking until evenly blended.
05 - Place apple fries in a large bowl, drizzle with melted butter or oil, and gently toss to coat evenly.
06 - Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the coated apple fries and toss again until evenly covered.
07 - Spread the coated apple fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring space between pieces to prevent steaming.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 25 minutes until tender and lightly golden brown, monitoring closely to avoid overbaking.
09 - Allow the apple fries to cool slightly before serving warm. Alternatively, air fry at 190°C for 8 to 12 minutes, shaking halfway through.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Use firm, crisp apple varieties for optimal texture. Adjust sugar quantity based on apple sweetness and personal preference.
02 - Ensure single layer placement on the baking sheet to prevent steaming and maintain crispness.
