Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 medium apples, cored and sliced into fry-shaped pieces
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Wash, core, and slice the apples into thin, fry-like strips, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.
  2. Heat Butter: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely and start to bubble but not brown.
  3. Sauté Apples: Add the apple slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples become tender but still hold their shape.
  4. Add Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture over the sautéed apples evenly. Toss gently to coat all pieces with the cinnamon sugar.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the apple fries from heat and serve immediately while warm, optionally with a side of vanilla ice cream or yogurt for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Choose firm apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to ensure the fries hold their shape during cooking.
  • Adjust the cinnamon and sugar proportions to taste or use a sugar substitute for a lower sugar option.
  • Serve with a dipping sauce such as caramel or chocolate for an indulgent treat.
  • For a crispier texture, you can briefly broil the apple fries after cooking to caramelize the sugar coating.
