How to Make Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries

Ingredients:

2 large apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
65 grams all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
60 grams panko breadcrumbs or regular breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Cooking spray
120 milliliters caramel sauce (optional)
120 grams vanilla yogurt (optional, for a lighter accompaniment)

Directions:

Peel the apples if you like. Cut them into wedges about 1.25 centimeters thick. Be sure to remove the cores and seeds.
In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Set this aside.
Place the flour in one bowl, the beaten eggs in another, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Mix half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture into the breadcrumbs so it is evenly spread.
Take each apple wedge and coat it in the flour first. Shake off any extra flour. Then dip it fully in the beaten egg. Finally, press it gently into the breadcrumb mixture until it is well coated. Repeat this step for all the apple wedges.
Preheat your air fryer to 190°C for 3 minutes. Arrange the coated apple wedges in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer. Lightly mist them with cooking spray.
Cook the apple fries for 8–10 minutes, turning them once, until they are crisp and golden brown.
Once they are done, sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar over the hot apple fries. Serve them right away with caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt for dipping.

How to Serve Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries

Serve these crispy apple fries right after cooking them for the best taste. You can place them on a large plate and offer caramel sauce and vanilla yogurt on the side for dipping. They make a great snack for gatherings, movie nights, or just a sweet afternoon treat!

How to Store Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries

Tips to Make Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries
