Print Recipe

Enjoy a delightful and healthy twist on traditional fries with these crispy air fryer apple fries. Perfect for a quick snack or dessert, they offer a satisfying crunch with every bite!

Ingredients

  • Apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
  • All-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour, or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • Panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs, or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
  • Cinnamon
  • Sugar
  • Egg (or flaxseed meal mixed with water for vegan alternative)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Start by washing your apples thoroughly. Core them and cut them into thin wedges or fries, about 1/4 inch thick. You can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
  2. Set Up Your Breading Station: In one bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs mixed with a bit of sugar.
  3. Bread the Apple Fries: Take each apple slice, dip it into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick well.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy texture.
  5. Air Fry the Apple Fries: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the breaded apple fries in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  6. Cooking Time: Air fry the apple fries for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon sugar if desired, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like caramel or yogurt.
