# How to Prepare:

01 - Peel and core apples, then cut into thick fry-shaped sticks approximately 1/2 inch wide. Toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
02 - Arrange three shallow bowls: place flour in first bowl, beaten eggs in second bowl, and mix panko breadcrumbs with cinnamon and salt in third bowl.
03 - Dredge each apple stick in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into beaten eggs, then press into panko mixture to coat evenly on all sides.
04 - Heat 1 inch vegetable oil in deep skillet to 350°F. Fry apple fries in batches, turning occasionally until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
05 - Place granulated sugar in medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook without stirring, swirling pan occasionally, until sugar melts and turns deep amber color.
06 - Remove from heat and immediately add cubed butter, stirring until melted. Carefully whisk in heavy cream until smooth. Stir in sea salt. Let cool slightly before serving.
07 - Arrange fried apple fries on large platter or wooden board. Place bowl of warm salted caramel sauce in center. Scatter marshmallows, pecans, chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs, and fresh berries around fries.
08 - Dust apple fries generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately while warm, encouraging guests to dip fries into caramel sauce and enjoy with assorted toppings.
