Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 large large apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Firm varieties work best for air frying.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs Panko breadcrumbs add extra crunch.
  • 2 tsp cinnamon Adjust to taste.
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten) Can be substituted with a flax egg for vegan options.
  • to taste Non-stick cooking spray To prevent sticking in the air fryer.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing and slicing the apples into wedges or fry-like shapes, keeping the skin on.
Dipping Stations Assembly
  1. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with a mix of breadcrumbs, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
Coating the Apple Wedges
  1. Dip each apple slice in flour, then in egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
Air Frying
  1. Place the coated apple fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Set the air fryer to 350°F and cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For additional flavor, consider adding nutmeg or ginger to the breadcrumb mix. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days and reheat in the air fryer.
