The Story Behind Apple Cinnamon Curly Fries
The idea of Apple Cinnamon Curly Fries came about as a fun experiment in the kitchen. The aim was to create a dessert that was not only delicious but also exciting and different.

The Ingredients
- 3 medium or large baking apples (Granny Smith, Jonathan or Jonagold, Braeburn, Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- oil for frying
- Caramel Sauce, for serving (optional)
Directions
The process of making Apple Cinnamon Curly Fries is straightforward and easy to follow. The apples are first peeled and spiralized, then dusted with flour. They are then fried until golden brown, and immediately tossed in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. The result is a batch of crispy, sweet, and tangy curly fries that are best served immediately.
- Fill a deep frying pan with at least 2-inches of oil. Heat over medium heat to 350°F. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain this temperature.
- Peel and spiralize the apples. Place the apples in a large bowl. Dust them with flour, giving them a few tosses with tongs or clean hands to ensure the apples are evenly coated.
- In a medium bowl or pie plate, combine the sugar and cinnamon until evenly mixed. Set aside.
- Fry the apples in batches until they are a light golden brown, then remove them from the oil and immediately shake them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Remove apples from the cinnamon-sugar mixture and serve immediately.
