Pour enough vegetable oil into a large pot to fill it about 1 inch deep and heat to 350°F.
Peel, core, and slice 4 large tart/crisp apples into fry-sized pieces.
Place ½ cup cornstarch in a bowl and toss the apple slices until evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
Working in batches, carefully fry the coated apple slices in the hot oil for 2–3 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until soft and lightly golden brown.
Remove the apple fries with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Repeat until all apple slices are cooked.
Toss the warm apple fries in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
Serve warm with caramel sauce for dipping and enjoy!

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.
