Description

Air Fryer Apple Fries are a delightful and healthier twist on a classic dessert or snack. Crisp apple slices are coated in a cinnamon-spiced breadcrumb mixture and air-fried until perfectly golden and crunchy. These apple fries are quick to prepare and make a delicious treat when served warm with a variety of dips, such as caramel sauce or vanilla Greek yogurt.

Ingredients

Apple Fries

  • 2 large apples (Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Gala)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • Olive oil cooking spray

Optional Dipping Sauce

  • Caramel sauce
  • Vanilla Greek yogurt
  • Cream cheese fruit dip

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat to ensure even cooking and crispiness for the apple fries.
  2. Prepare the Apples: Core the apples and slice them into fry-shaped strips, making sure they’re of uniform size for consistent cooking.
  3. Set Up Breading Stations: Place the flour in one shallow bowl, the beaten eggs in a second, and in a third bowl combine the panko breadcrumbs with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Coat the Apple Slices: Dip each apple strip first in flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture for a crunchy exterior.
  5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated apple fries in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Lightly spray them with olive oil cooking spray to promote crispness.
  6. Air Fry: Cook the apple fries for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the apple fries and let them cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with caramel sauce, vanilla Greek yogurt, or your favorite dip.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure the fries crisp evenly.
  • Choosing different apple varieties will alter the sweetness and tartness of the fries; Granny Smith offers more tartness, while Gala is sweeter.
  • For the best texture and flavor, serve the apple fries fresh and warm right after cooking.
