1. Can I make air fryer apple fries ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare and store air fryer apple fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. When you're ready to enjoy them, reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to bring back their crisp texture. Avoid microwaving, as it may make them soggy.

2. Are air fryer apple fries healthy?

Air fryer apple fries are a healthier alternative to traditional fried desserts. They use minimal added sugar, no oil (just a light cooking spray), and retain all the fiber and nutrients from the apples — especially if you leave the skin on. For an even cleaner version, use a sugar substitute or skip the sugar entirely.

3. What dipping sauces go best with air fryer apple fries?

Great pairings for air fryer apple fries include warm caramel sauce, vanilla yogurt, maple cream, or even a peanut butter drizzle. For a holiday twist, try spiced whipped cream or a cinnamon cream cheese dip. The warm apples and crispy coating pair beautifully with sweet, creamy, or spiced dips.

Instructions

Wash and dry the apple. Slice it in half, remove the core, and cut into evenly sized wedges.
Place the apple wedges in a medium bowl and spray lightly with butter-flavored cooking spray.
In a separate bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Toss the apple wedges in the cinnamon-sugar crumb mixture until fully coated.
Arrange coated apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 425°F for 5–6 minutes until golden and crispy.
Let cool slightly and serve warm with optional dips like caramel or yogurt.

Notes

Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji for best texture.
No need to peel the apples — the skin softens during air frying.
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
Reheat leftovers at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to regain crispiness.
