Start by washing the apples thoroughly to remove any residue. Slice each apple into fry-shaped sticks, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking. Set your sliced apples aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture until well blended.

Add your apple slices into the bowl with the coating mixture. Use your hands to toss them gently, ensuring every piece is evenly coated.

Set your air fryer to preheat at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil.

Carefully spread the coated apple slices in a single layer within the air fryer basket. Set the timer for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

After 8-10 minutes, check your apple fries for golden-brown color. If necessary, air fry for an additional minute, keeping a close eye to avoid overcooking.

Once done, carefully remove the basket and allow them to cool for a moment. Serve warm with dips like caramel or flavored yogurt.
