Make a delicious crunchy treat with these Air Fryer Apple Fries, easy to make in the Ninja Foodi too!

One of our favorites to make in the Air Fryer is Air Fryer Apple Fries, they are the perfect blend of sweet and crunchy.

Tips for Making Air Fryer Apple Fries:

This recipe works the best using green, Granny Smith Apples. These hold their shape the best when cooked, plus have a great tart flavor that blends well with the ingredients.

It’s also a must to serve these right out of the air fryer, shortly after cooking. Due to the moisture they do not reheat or store well, so make them just before serving.

If you want to have less clean-up, use parchment paper for your air fryer or silicone mats. These work well in the air fryer plus have a variety of sizes for each machine.

As always, remember that all air fryer machines heat differently so be sure to watch them closely the first time you try these.

This recipe is easy to make gluten-free with a few swaps. First, be sure to use a Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour.

I almost always use Better Batter; however, you can use a gluten-free flour of your choice that is a 1:1 swap.

Can you make Ninja Foodi Apple Fries?

This recipe can be made in the Ninja Foodi using the air crisp basket and the air crisp function. The instructions will be exactly the same simply use the air crisp function.

This also means you would use the lid that is attached to the Ninja Foodi, the crisper lid.

Coat with the graham cracker crumbs, pressing them firmly onto the apple.
Place on a baking sheet and repeat for the remaining apples.
Coat with the cooking oil spray of your choice.
Preheat the air fryer at 380*F for 3 minutes.
Line the basket with parchment if preferred.
Cook in the air fryer or air crisp for the Ninja Foodi for 5-7 minutes, it’s best to flip them after about 3 minutes to the other side.
Transfer to a wire rack and cool slightly before serving with warm caramel sauce.

Notes

Granny Smith apples are the best choice for these. They are tart and work better with the sweetness of the graham cracker crumbs. Red or Golden Delicious apples do not hold up well when cooking.These are best served right out of the air fryer, they do not reheat well due to the moisture in the apples.
