Ingredients:

  • 3 large Granny Smith or Pink Lady apples (approx. 600g)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • Cooking oil spray (Avocado or Grapeseed)

Instructions:

  1. Slice each apple into 1/2-inch thick planks, then cut those planks into uniform sticks (batons). Toss them immediately in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent oxidation.
  2. In a large Ziploc bag, combine the flour, cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the damp apple sticks to the bag, seal with air inside, and shake vigorously until lightly coated. Shake off excess coating.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Arrange the sticks in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they do not overlap. Lightly spray with cooking oil.
  4. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the edges are golden and the coating is crispy. To ensure crispiness, avoid overcrowding the basket and make sure the coating is applied evenly.
