These Air Fryer Apple Fries are a deliciously crispy and healthier snack option made by coating apple slices in a cinnamon-sugar panko breadcrumb mixture and air frying them to golden perfection. They make a perfect sweet treat that’s easy to prepare and great for dipping in caramel sauce, yogurt, or whipped cream.

Ingredients

Apples

  • 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work great)

Breading

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Others

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prep apples: Peel the apples if desired, then cut them into fry-like sticks. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the coating stick better.
  2. Set up coating stations: Prepare three bowls – in the first bowl add the flour; in the second, whisk together the egg and milk; in the third, combine the panko breadcrumbs, sugar, and cinnamon.
  3. Coat apples: Dip each apple stick first in the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even covering.
  4. Air fry: Lightly spray the coated apple fries with nonstick cooking spray to promote crispiness. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Cook: Air fry the apple fries at 380°F (190°C) for 7 to 9 minutes. About halfway through cooking, shake the basket gently to ensure even browning. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
  6. Serve: Serve the apple fries warm with your choice of dip such as caramel sauce, yogurt, or whipped cream for a delightful snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Peeling the apples is optional; leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.
  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best fry texture.
  • Make sure to pat the apple slices dry to help the coating adhere properly.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking and crisping.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model and apple thickness.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour and panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
