Crispy and sweet apple fries coated in a cinnamon-sugar panko breadcrumb crust, air-fried to golden perfection. A healthier alternative to traditional fries offering a delightful combination of tart apples and crunchy coating, perfect as a snack or dessert.

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

  1. Prep apples: Peel the apples if desired and cut them into fry-like sticks. Use a paper towel to pat them dry and remove any excess moisture, ensuring a crisp coating.
  2. Set up coating stations: Prepare three bowls to organize the coating process. In Bowl 1, place the flour. In Bowl 2, whisk together the egg and milk. In Bowl 3, combine the panko breadcrumbs with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
  3. Coat apples: Dredge each apple stick first in the flour to help the batter adhere, then dip into the egg mixture to coat evenly. Finally, roll the apple sticks in the breadcrumb mixture until well covered.
  4. Air fry preparation: Lightly spray the coated apple fries with nonstick cooking spray to promote crispiness during cooking. Arrange them in a single layer inside the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Cook: Air fry the apple fries at 380°F (190°C) for 7 to 9 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the apple fries warm as a snack or dessert. They pair beautifully with caramel dip, yogurt, or whipped cream for added indulgence.

Notes

  • Peeling the apples is optional; leaving the skin on adds extra fiber and color.
  • Use tart apple varieties like Granny Smith for a nice contrast with the sweet coating.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure crispy fries.
  • These apple fries are best served immediately for optimal crispness.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour and panko with gluten-free alternatives.
