Description
Make delicious apple fries with a creamy caramel dipping sauce. This recipe is simple to follow and perfect for a fun fall treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- For the Caramel Cream Dip:
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/2-inch thick fry-shaped sticks.
- In a medium bowl, toss the apple slices with melted butter until evenly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the buttered apple slices and toss again to coat.
- Arrange the apple fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet (for oven) or in the air fryer basket.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly browned. If using an air fryer, cook for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally, until crisp.
- While the apple fries are cooking, prepare the caramel cream dip. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the caramel sauce, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined and creamy.
- Serve the warm apple fries with the caramel cream dip on the side.
Notes
- For extra crisp apple fries, ensure they are in a single layer and not overcrowded during cooking.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar to your liking.
- The caramel cream dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
