Ingredients

  • 3 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (or avocado oil)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (or arrowroot powder for grain-free)
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

Directions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Prepare Apples: Wash, peel (optional), and core the apples. Cut them into fry-shaped sticks, about 1/4-inch thick.
  3. Coat Apples: In a large bowl, toss apple sticks with melted coconut oil until evenly coated.
  4. Season: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch, cinnamon, coconut sugar, and nutmeg (if using). Sprinkle over the apples and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Bake: Spread the apple fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and slightly crispy.
