Serve them with a caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt dip for a lighter touch. A quick, easy, and healthier alternative to traditional fried treats, made effortlessly in your air fryer.

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: Start by washing and optionally peeling the apples. Slice them into wedges about 1/2 inch thick, removing the core and seeds. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl; set aside for coating and final garnish.
  2. Set Up the Breading Station: Arrange three shallow bowls – one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with the panko breadcrumbs mixed with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. This organized setup will help with an easy coating process.
  3. Coat the Apple Slices: Dredge each apple slice in flour, shaking off excess. Dip fully into the beaten eggs, then press into the breadcrumb mixture until well coated. Repeat for all slices until ready for frying.
  4. Air Fry the Apple Fries: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. Arrange the coated apple slices in a single layer without overcrowding. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for extra crispness. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Transfer the crisp apple fries to a serving plate. Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture while still warm. Serve immediately with caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt for dipping.

Notes

  • Peeling the apples is optional; leaving the skin adds extra texture and fiber.
  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture after frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • For extra crispiness, lightly spray the apple fries with cooking spray before and during cooking.
  • These apple fries are best served fresh and warm.
  • You can substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
