Ingredients
Apples:
- 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
Breadcrumb Coating:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Others:
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Peel apples (optional) and cut into fry-shaped sticks. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Coating Stations: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with sugar and cinnamon in a third.
- Dredge Apples: Dredge apple sticks first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumb mixture.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray basket with cooking spray.
- Air Frying: Arrange coated apple fries in a single layer. Air fry 6–8 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Serve warm with caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream for dipping.
Notes
- For lighter fries, skip the flour/egg/breadcrumb coating and just toss apples in cinnamon sugar before air frying.
- Best served immediately for maximum crunch.
- Try with different apples for varying sweetness and tartness.
