- Start by heating oil in a medium-sized skillet. Pour in enough to cover about 1 inch of the bottom of the pan. Heat it over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering, which indicates that it’s hot enough for frying. Be sure to keep an eye on it to prevent overheating.
- While the oil is heating, slice your apples into thin wedges, about 1/4 inch thick. This thickness is ideal for getting that perfect fry. Place them in a bowl and set them aside for a moment.
- Next, take the cornstarch and sprinkle it over the sliced apples. Toss them gently until they are well coated. This step is crucial for achieving a nice crispy texture when frying.
- Once the oil reaches the right temperature, carefully add the coated apple slices to the skillet. Be cautious, as the oil can splatter. Fry them for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until you see them starting to soften and turn golden brown. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fried apples from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil, keeping them crispy.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. While the apples are still warm, roll them in this mixture to coat evenly. This is where they get their sweet, aromatic flavor!
- Finally, plate your Apple Fries and serve them warm. Don’t forget to include a side of caramel sauce for dipping; it’s an irresistible combination!
