This Baked Apple Fries recipe is sponsored by my friends at Ontario Apple Growers —local growers of high-quality delicious apples, helping us all eat, snack and live healthily! Make sure to look for the Foodland logo so you know you’re buying Ontario grown apples!

I love that every year around this time I start looking for healthier meals and snacks. So how about some healthy delicious and crunchy Baked Apple Fries dipped in a sweet Raspberry Sauce? Totally deliciously addictive in a fabulous way 🙂

Why this recipe works:

Every bite of these Baked Apple Fries is a crunch of oats, seeds and nuts with a tender sweet baked apple inside. Whether you decide to dip your Apple Fries in raspberry berry sauce or not, you’re in for a real treat!!

Normally, I would coat my apple fries in an egg mixture. However, I wanted to keep this Baked Apple Fries recipe vegan, so I coated them in a mixture of chia seeds and water, which worked beautifully!

Similarly, the crunch factor, which is the granola here, can be sweetened with brown sugar or maple syrup to make this recipe totally vegan.

There’s something about apples that just feels perfect when you want to lighten up your meals and snacks. It’s probably the first ingredient that comes to mind.

Ironically, when I crave something divine and decadent, it seems like apples come to mind right away! Something like this MUST try Swiss Apple Tart Recipe, for example, is pure lush!

Well, today we’re chatting healthy stuff. I feel that healthy meals and snacks should not feel like a chore or resolution, but rather a treat on their own. I mean just look at these Baked Apple Fries, how can that feel anything but a treat?!

First of all, here’s an amazing Apple GUIDE to all the many different varieties of apples and how best to enjoy them. I find myself often reaching for Gala apples more than any because I just happen to favor that sweetness, texture and crunch.

And the beauty of recipes (and life!) is that you pick your favorite apple and it’ll work like a charm. So, by all means, don’t feel like you need to stick to the type of apple I used for my Baked Apple Fries— which is Empire apples by the way 🙂

How to make Baked Apple Fries with Raspberry Sauce: 

all ingredients for making baked apple fries gathered on a table

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Mix the chia seed coating in a small bowl and mix the granola crunch coating in a bigger deep dish.

Take an apple stick at a time and dip it into the chia seeds, then coat it with the granola crunch.

Place the apple-stick on the prepared baking tray.
Repeat with the remaining apple sticks and bake the tray for about 20 minutes until the granola coating is golden and crisp.

In the meantime, make the raspberry sauce by mixing all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl.

Raspberry Sauce is a small white dish with some fresh raspberries on the side

Microwave the raspberry sauce for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and thick. Use a whisk to whisk the sauce and mush up the berries till smooth.

Adjust the sweetness and thickness of the raspberry sauce by adding extra water if needed or extra cornstarch and microwave an extra minute. Allow the sauce to cool before serving it with the Baked Apple Fries. Enjoy!

Now the question would be, whether to dip or no to dip your Baked Apple Fries in raspberry sauce? Well since we’ve baked and not fried our apple fries, I say we can indulge in a sweet raspberry sauce.

I love this simple raspberry sauce which I’ve used before in many cheesecake recipes. It’s basically microwaving raspberries, sugar, water and cornstarch until a thick sauce magically happens! As you whisk the berries into the sauce, they will all mush up and your sauce will be smooth.

I should probably say that blueberry sauce would be terrific too, but I opted for raspberry sauce so it looks like ketchup with my Baked Apple Fries.

These healthy Baked Apple Fries will blow you away! It’s super easy and delicious, plus it has this addictive pick me up finger food quality which you can’t resist 🙂 And above all, it’s really healthy, good for you and seriously fills you up! So give these apple fries a try and be prepared to fall in love.

Tips for success: 

  • The crunch on the apples will depend on the thickness of the apple fries. So thick apple fries or apple wedges will have a crunch, while slim cut apple fries will turn pretty soft. It’s totally your choice. Mine were cut pretty thin so the apple was soft.
  • When it comes to the granola mix, use your favorite seeds, spices and nuts. I love plain old fashioned oats, flax seeds, quinoa seeds, more chia seeds, chopped pecans and plenty of cinnamon.

  • You can certainly use ginger, chai spice, apple pie spice, swap nuts around, add more seeds, take away some,etc.

    This is such a great idea!! It’s a great sweet alternative for adults and kiddos as well. The idea of eating your apple baked with a crunch sounds very appealing. I haven’t tried chia seeds yet but using them with the apple to help in the crunch sounds great. This recipe is certainly a keeper. The grandsons will love it!

      Thanks Marisa, it’s kid and adult approved for sure! The chia seeds just act as an egg–because I’ve made this totally vegan, but you can use an egg white or a full egg if you’re not.
