These Air Fryer Apple Fries are a delicious and healthier twist on a classic dessert. Lightly coated in a cinnamon sugar panko breadcrumb mixture and cooked to crispy perfection in the air fryer, they make for a perfect snack or dessert that’s quick to prepare and irresistibly tasty.

Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work great)

Breading

  • 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. Prepare Apples: Wash and core the apples, then slice them into fry-shaped pieces about ¼ inch thick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. In a separate shallow bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
  3. Coat the Apple Fries: Dip each apple slice first in the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the cinnamon sugar panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  5. Arrange and Spray: Place the coated apple fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray to encourage crisping.
  6. Cook: Air fry the apple fries at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve warm, optionally with a side of vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Choose firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith to hold shape during cooking.
  • If you prefer a sweeter coating, increase the sugar to 3 tablespoons.
  • For extra crispiness, double coat the apple slices by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, as the coating may soften over time.
  • Can be adapted to gluten-free by using gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs.
