Best apples for apple fries
The best apples for apple fries are Granny Smith apples. Firm apples hold up when fried and won’t become mushy.
Cornstarch coating
Cornstarch is the naturally gluten-free coating that helps crisp the fries during frying. It fries up a lot lighter than regular flour.
Oil for frying
The best oils for frying have a smoke point higher than 375°F. Canola, avocado, safflower, soybean, corn, sunflower and cottonseed oil are a few examples.
Cinnamon-sugar coating
You’ll assemble a cinnamon-sugar coating for the apple fries out of granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Vanilla whipped cream
It’s optional, but Legoland’s apple fries come with vanilla whipped cream. Make yours from heavy whipping cream, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract.
Caramel sauce
Finish your apple fries with an optional warmed caramel sauce. You can buy it from the store or make salted caramel sauce at home.
Step 1: Cut apples
Peel and core the apples. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the apples into 1/2-inch sticks.
Step 2: Dredge in cornstarch
Place the cornstarch in a large bowl. Add the apple sticks, a few at a time, tossing to thoroughly coat them. Shake off the excess.
Step 3: Deep-fry and toss in cinnamon-sugar
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat the oil to 375°. Fry the apple fries until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Step 4: Make whipped cream
In a chilled glass bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until it thickens. Add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract, beat until soft peaks form.
Step 5: Serve apple fries
Serve the apple fries warm with vanilla whipped cream. If desired, drizzle with warmed caramel sauce.
How to store apple fries
Allow leftover apple fries to cool completely to room temperature, then store them in an airtight container. They can last in the fridge for up to four days.
