How to make Apple Fries Recipe

Apple fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional potato fries. They are easy to make and can be a great snack or dessert option. Here's a simple recipe for making apple fries:

Ingredients:

• 2 large apples (any variety you prefer)

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup cold water

• Vegetable oil for frying

• Cinnamon sugar (optional, for coating)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the apples:

• Wash the apples thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.

• Peel the apples if desired, although leaving the skin on can add extra nutrients and texture to the apple fries.

• Core the apples and cut them into thin, fry-like strips. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer to get even, thin slices.

2. Make the batter:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.

• Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the apple slices.

3. Heat the oil:

• In a deep frying pan or a pot, add enough vegetable oil to submerge the apple fries.

• Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of around 350°F (175°C).

4. Coat the apple slices:

• Dip the apple slices into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.

5. Fry the apple slices:

• Carefully place the coated apple slices into the hot oil in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches to ensure they cook evenly.

• Fry the apple slices for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

• Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried apple slices from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

6. Optional cinnamon sugar coating:

• If you want to add extra sweetness and flavor, you can toss the warm apple fries in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar after they are done frying.

7. Serve and enjoy:

• Serve the apple fries immediately while they are still warm and crispy.

• You can enjoy them on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, or even whipped cream.

Remember to exercise caution while frying and handle hot oil carefully. Enjoy your homemade apple fries!
