How to Make It

Cut the apples into 1/2-inch sticks (peeling is optional). Set up three bowls with flour, beaten eggs and panko, and coat each apple stick in flour, then egg, then panko. Heat about an inch of oil in a deep skillet and fry the sticks in batches until deep golden, then drain them on paper towels. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and toss the warm fries in it. Serve them warm with warm caramel sauce for dipping.

Tips for the Best Cinnamon Sugar Apple Fries with Caramel Dip

Peel or don’t. Peeling is optional.
Press the panko on. It helps the coating stick.
Check the oil. Heat it to 350°F before frying.
Fry in batches. Crowding the pan makes them soggy.
Toss while warm. The cinnamon sugar sticks better.
