Description

These Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries are a delicious and healthier twist on traditional fries. Coated with a cinnamon-sugar flour mixture, dipped in eggs, and rolled in crunchy panko breadcrumbs, these apple wedges come out perfectly golden and crispy from the air fryer. A great snack or dessert, they are quick to prepare and satisfy your sweet cravings with a delightful crunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Apple Fries

  • 3 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), sliced into wedges
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the coating mixtures: In one bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and ground cinnamon to create a flavorful dry coating. In a second bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. In a third bowl, pour the panko breadcrumbs ready for coating.
  3. Coat the apple wedges: Dip each apple wedge first into the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs until fully covered for maximum crunch.
  4. Prepare the air fryer basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the coated apple fries in a single layer, making sure they have space for hot air circulation.
  5. Cook the apple fries: Air fry the apple fries for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to promote even browning. Cook until the apple fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Notes

  • Choose firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor.
  • Ensure apple wedges are evenly coated for a consistent crispy exterior.
  • Shake the basket halfway through cooking to promote even crispiness.
  • If you prefer a sweeter coating, sprinkle a bit more cinnamon sugar on the fries after cooking while they are hot.
  • Serve immediately for the best crunch and flavor.
