    Could you make these ahead of time and warm them up for a party?

  2. Donna says:

    Can apple-cinnamon curly fries be prepared in an air fryer (instead of frying them in oil)?

    1. Jamie says:

      Although I have not tried it, I’m sure you can! Follow your manufacturers’ directions on how to fry using your particular brand of an air fryer. You may need a spritz of oil for it to brown properly – but again, check your owner’s manual.
