Description
Crispy, golden apple fries coated in a cinnamon-sugar breadcrumb mixture and air-fried to perfection. Serve with caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt for dipping.
Ingredients
- 2 large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or preferred variety)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- Cooking spray
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (optional for dipping)
- 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (optional for dipping)
Instructions
- Peel and slice apples into 1/2-inch wedges. Remove cores and seeds. Mix 1 tsp cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- Set up breading station: flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, panko mixed with remaining cinnamon-sugar in a third.
- Dredge apple slices in flour, dip in eggs, then coat in breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all slices.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes. Arrange apple slices in a single layer and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Air fry 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar and serve immediately with caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt.
Notes
- Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith for structure. Sweeter apples like Fuji or Gala for softer fries.
- Best enjoyed fresh from the air fryer. Reheat briefly if needed.
- Optional dips: chocolate sauce or whipped cream.
