Description
These Air Fryer Apple Fries feature juicy apple wedges coated in cinnamon-sugar panko breadcrumbs and air-fried until golden and crispy. An easy homemade snack or dessert made with simple ingredients and perfect for dipping in caramel sauce or chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work great)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Wash and dry the apples. Remove the cores and cut the apples into evenly sized wedges resembling French fries.
- Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow bowl.
- In a second bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
- In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Coat each apple wedge in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Dip the floured apple wedges into the egg mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip off.
- Roll each wedge in the cinnamon-sugar panko mixture, gently pressing the breadcrumbs onto the surface.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.
- Arrange the coated apple wedges in a single layer, leaving space between them. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry until the coating is golden and crispy and the apples are tender. Adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of the wedges and your air fryer.
- Carefully remove the apple fries and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Honeycrisp apples provide a sweeter flavor, while Granny Smith apples offer a pleasant tart contrast.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to help the breadcrumb coating crisp evenly.
- Serve warm with caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, or vanilla yogurt for dipping.
