Ingredients
2 large apples
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cooking spray
Instructions
1. Peel, core, and slice the apples into fry-like strips about 1/2 inch thick.
2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with whisked eggs and milk, and one with panko mixed with sugar and cinnamon.
3. Dip each apple slice into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat in the panko mixture, pressing gently.
4. Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
5. Arrange the coated apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
6. Lightly spray the apple fries with cooking spray.
7. Air fry for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
8. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce like caramel, whipped cream, or yogurt.
Notes
For best results, use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer to ensure even crisping.
Reheat leftovers in the air fryer, not the microwave, to maintain the crunch.
