• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or almond flour for gluten-free option
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Prepare Apple Fries

Preparing the Apples

Start by washing and peeling the apples. Cut the apples into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick. Toss the apple sticks with lemon juice to prevent browning and add a tangy flavor.

Coating the Apple Sticks

In a shallow dish, combine sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Dip each apple stick into the beaten egg, then roll thoroughly in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.

Air Frying the Apple Sticks

Preheat your Ninja Air Fryer to 375°F. Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray. Place the coated apple sticks in a single layer in the basket, leaving space for air circulation.

Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy. Serve immediately for the best texture.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Golden Apple Sticks

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat briefly in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness. For maximum freshness, enjoy quickly after preparing!

5. Serving Suggestions and Flavor Enhancements

These apple fries are perfect on their own or dipped in caramel, chocolate, or vanilla yogurt for added indulgence. Pair them with a glass of Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker for a refreshing beverage. For an extra crunch, add chopped nuts or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
