Crispy Apple Fries – breaded and baked with oats, walnuts, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon and dipped in a cream cheese dip. These are not your average fries for sure! They taste just like apple pie but without all of the work. Besides, they are a great healthy snack alternative to fried apple sticks.
I like to add an easy dunking dip to this apple recipe, but they are delicious to eat alone too. I highly recommend using Granny Smith apples for this recipe because they hold their shape just fine and are available at every grocery store.
To make the Crispy Apple Fries, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
In a blender, combine ⅓ cup quick-cooking oatmeal and 3 tablespoons walnuts and blend until consistency is similar to flour.
Transfer the oatmeal mixture to a shallow dish and add 4 tablespoons light brown sugar, 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Mix to combine. Place ¼ cup melted margarine in a small bowl.
Dip the apple slices in margarine first, then dip in the oatmeal mixture to coat completely. Arrange the slices on a wire rack placed over the baking sheet.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown
Meanwhile, In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup fat-free cream cheese, ½ tsp vanilla extract, and 1 cup sugar-free whipped topping.
Serve the apple fries warm with the dunking dip on the side.
