Cinnamon Sugar Apple Fries are a fun and delicious twist on classic fried treats, featuring crisp granny smith apple slices coated in a sweet funnel cake batter, fried to golden perfection, and dusted with a spiced sugar blend. Served warm with optional caramel dipping sauce and whipped cream, they make a perfect indulgent snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Apple Fries

  • 4-5 medium Granny Smith apples
  • Funnel cake batter (prepared according to recipe)
  • Oil for frying (enough for 2 inches deep in a pan or as per deep fryer instructions)

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Optional Toppings and Dips

  • Whipped cream
  • Powdered sugar
  • Caramel dipping sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon; mix well and set aside for coating later.
  2. Make Funnel Cake Batter: Prepare the funnel cake batter according to your chosen funnel cake recipe instructions to ensure the right consistency for coating the apple slices.
  3. Heat Oil: Add oil to a deep fryer or skillet, filling it about 2 inches deep, and heat to 375°F (190°C); this temperature ensures crispy, golden apple fries without soaking up excess oil.
  4. Slice Apples: Peel the Granny Smith apples and slice them into thick sticks resembling French fries; using a French fry cutter can speed up this process and provide uniform pieces.
  5. Coat Apple Fries: Dip each apple stick into the funnel cake batter, making sure it is well-coated, then gently shake off any excess batter to avoid clumping in the hot oil.
  6. Fry Apple Fries: Carefully drop the batter-coated apple sticks into the hot oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown; monitor closely to prevent burning while ensuring thorough cooking.
  7. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the apple fries with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any remaining oil for a crispy finish.
  8. Coat and Serve: Toss the warm apple fries in the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture for an even coating; optionally, sprinkle powdered sugar on top and serve immediately with caramel dipping sauce and whipped cream for dipping.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for their tart flavor and firmness; other apple varieties may become too soft when fried.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 375°F for optimal crispiness and to prevent greasy apple fries.
  • For easier slicing, chill apples before cutting.
  • Optionally, you can use a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pan with oil; ensure oil depth is sufficient for frying.
  • Serve apple fries immediately for the best texture and flavor.
