Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries are a delightful snack made by coating apple wedges in a cinnamon-sugar breadcrumb mixture and air frying them to golden perfection. They offer a crunchy exterior with a tender, sweet-tart apple interior, perfect for dipping in caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt.

Ingredients

Scale

Apple Fries

  • 2 large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or your favorite variety)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Cooking spray

Dipping Sauce (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (optional for a lighter option)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel the apples if desired and slice them into wedges about 1/2 inch thick, removing the core and seeds. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar; set aside.
  2. Set Up the Breading Station: Place the flour in one bowl, the beaten eggs in another, and the panko breadcrumbs mixed with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture in a third bowl.
  3. Coat the Apple Slices: Dredge each apple slice in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, ensuring full coating, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly. Repeat for all slices.
  4. Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes. Arrange the coated apple slices in a single layer in the basket and lightly spray with cooking spray. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  5. Serve: Sprinkle the fried apple fries with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture immediately after cooking. Serve hot with caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt for dipping.

Notes

  • Using firm, tart apples like Granny Smith helps hold shape and balance sweetness.
  • Sweeter apples like Fuji or Gala yield softer fries.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated for a few minutes if needed.
  • Experiment with dips such as chocolate sauce or whipped cream for variety.
