- Ingredients:
- 4 medium apples (such as Fuji or Granny Smith)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar (optional)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions:
- Peel and core the apples, then slice them into thin wedges, about 1/2 inch wide, to resemble fries.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
- Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Dip each apple slice into the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Then dip it into the milk mixture, followed by the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to coat each piece.
- Carefully place the coated apple slices into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the apple fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon (if using cinnamon sugar). Sprinkle this mixture over the hot apple fries while they are still warm.
- Serve immediately with a side of caramel sauce, vanilla yogurt, or whipped cream for dipping.
