Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work great)
Coating
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Other
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prep apples: Peel the apples if desired, then cut them into fry-like sticks. Use a paper towel to pat the apple sticks dry and remove excess moisture for better coating adherence.
- Set up coating stations: Prepare three separate bowls: one with flour, a second with whisked egg and milk mixture, and a third with a mix of panko breadcrumbs, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- Coat apples: Dredge each apple stick first in flour, then dip into the egg and milk mixture, followed by a thorough coating with the panko-sugar-cinnamon blend.
- Air fry: Lightly spray the coated apple fries with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange them in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook: Air fry the apple fries at 380°F (190°C) for 7 to 9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping, until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Enjoy the apple fries warm, optionally served with caramel dip, yogurt, or whipped cream for added flavor.
Notes
- Using apples with a firm texture like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith helps maintain crispness.
- Peeling the apples is optional—leaving the skin on adds extra fiber and color.
- Patting the apple sticks dry before coating improves the breading adhesion and crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and browning.
- These apple fries are best enjoyed fresh and warm for optimal texture.
