Apple Sticks


These apple sticks are a nice treat for fall when the apples are plentiful. Use your favorite apple and cheddar cheese. Make sure you have caramel sauce/ice cream topping available to dip the 'sticks'.
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup apples, shredded
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Caramel sauce/ice cream topping
  1. Whisk together the first 4 ingredients.
  2. Cut in butter and stir in cheese.
  3. Stir in apples and milk.
  4. Knead just enough to form into a ball. 
  5. Using a dusting of flour on counter roll out dough to 1/4" thickness.
  6. Cut into finger lengths approximately 1" wide.
  7. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown. ( I fried 4 sticks at a time, this takes 2 minutes)
  8. Place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. 
  9. Mix together 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon on a plate. Roll each apple stick in the mixture coating each side.
  10. Serve warm caramel sauce in individual little bowls for each person for dipping.
  11. Yield: 15 apple sticks (in case someone is counting not all the apple sticks made it to the serving tray for photos.

  1. I wonder if these can be baked rather than fried?

    1. I have not baked these but it would be worth a try. Sometimes deep fried just tastes best:)
