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.
These Air Fryer Apple Fries pair wonderfully with this Homemade Caramel Sauce.
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.
Can you make these gluten-free?
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.
Next, it’s important to use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs. I linked to the one that I use, these can be found most times at your local grocery store or Sprouts.
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.
Time to enjoy a tasty treat!

I have only had my Air Fryer for two weeks and everything has been fantastic so far. I can’t wait to try out your apple recipe. Thanks for sharing such delicious and inspiring recipes each week. This post will be a feature this week. #HomeMattersParty
I could be accustomed to to a blog called “Air Fryer Fanatics” since I resemble one. Thank you for current and subsequential recipe(s).
OMGAWD! These are AH-mazeballs! We just tried them and this is definitely a do over. We had them with Marzetti’s Caramel Dip. Messy to make, but totally worth it!
