Ingredients
  

For the Apple Fries
  • 4 apples Granny Smith or Honeycrisp Use Granny Smith for a tart flavor or Honeycrisp for extra sweetness.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Swap with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
  • 2 large Eggs Ensure they are well-beaten for better adherence.
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs Regular breadcrumbs can be a substitute but will alter the texture.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and slicing the apples into 1/2 inch wedges, removing the core and seeds. Set aside while mixing 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a bowl.
  2. Arrange three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  3. Dredge each apple slice in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to embed the crumbs.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes. Arrange coated apple slices in a single layer in the basket and lightly spray with cooking spray. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture before serving with dipping sauces.
