# What You'll Need:

→ Fruits

01 - 2 Granny Smith apples, firm and medium-sized

→ Coating

02 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
03 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, divided
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 - 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

→ Other

07 - Cooking oil spray, neutral flavor

# Step-by-Step Preparation:

01 - Wash and dry the Granny Smith apples thoroughly. Peel if a softer texture is desired or leave unpeeled for added crunch and nutrients.
02 - Slice apples into sticks approximately 1/2 inch thick, ensuring uniform pieces for even cooking.
03 - In a shallow bowl, combine flour, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Whisk until evenly blended.
04 - Toss apple sticks gently in the flour and spice mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
05 - Set air fryer to 380°F and preheat for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking.
06 - Place coated apple sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding and promote crisping.
07 - Spritz apple fries lightly with additional oil spray. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway to ensure even browning.
08 - While still warm, transfer fries to a bowl and toss with remaining powdered sugar. Serve immediately with caramel or vanilla yogurt for dipping.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Apple fries are naturally high in fiber and lower in fat when air fried. For a gluten-free variation, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. Fries are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated briefly in the air fryer to regain crispness.
