    Ingredients

    • 2 large apples

    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

    • 1/2 cup sugar

    • 1/4 cup cornstarch

    • 1 pinch salt

    • 1/2 cup milk

    Directions

    • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Prepare the apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them into fry-like pieces.
    • In a bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, sugar, cornstarch, and salt, mixing them well until uniformly combined.
    • Dip apple slices into the milk, then coat them in the flour mixture, ensuring each slice is evenly covered.
    • Arrange the coated apple slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
    • Air fry the apple fries for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
    • Once the apple fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The solo meal eaten without screens or competing activities is the natural context for mindful eating — making the deliberate choice to eat alone with full attention one of the most accessible and most evidence-supported practices for improving the quality of one’s relationship with food.
