Pour enough vegetable oil into a large pot to reach about 1 inch deep. Heat the oil to 350°F.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into fry-sized pieces.
Toss the apple slices with the cornstarch until evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Working in batches, carefully fry the apple slices for 2–3 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly golden brown.
Remove the apple fries with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining apple slices.
Toss the warm apple fries in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Serve warm with caramel sauce for dipping.

Substitutions and Additions

Apples - Feel free to use different types of apples for this recipe. Choose from granny smith apples, pink lady, or honey crisp. For a sweeter apple choose from fuji or golden delicious. Depending on the apple you choose it may change the flavor or texture.
All Purpose Flour - We used cornstarch in this recipe, but you substitute with flour. This helps to give a crispy coating on the apple fries.
Sugar Substitute - If you prefer to use a sugar substitute that fits into you diet, you can. Choose from coconut sugar or raw can sugar. It might change the taste slightly.
Spices - We love the flavor that cinnamon gives the apple fries. But you can also use nutmeg, apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice.
Vegetable Oil - We used vegetable oil in this recipe but you can use other high smoke point oil option. Canola Oil or sunflower oil are a great option.

Slicing Apples - When preparing the apples for frying, make sure to cut them about the same size. We recommend cutting them about 1/2 inch thick. About the same size of French Fries.
Prepare Apples - Prepare apples by slicing, peeling and coring apples to prepare to fry them.
Frying the Apples - Fry the apples in a single layer in the hot oil. Make sure to flip to cook both sides.
