Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Peel the apples and slice them into thin, fry-like strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Place the apple strips in a bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

Toss a few apple strips at a time in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

Shake off any excess flour and set the coated apple strips on a plate.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray or oil spray to prevent sticking.

Arrange the coated apple strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. If necessary, cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the apple strips.

While the apple fries cook, prepare the caramel cream dip.

In a bowl, mix the caramel sauce, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Once the apple fries are done, transfer them to a serving plate or basket.

Serve warm with the caramel cream dip on the side.

Enjoy!
