Ingredients
  

For the Apple Fries
  • 2 large large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or your favorite variety) Choose firm apples for best results.
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon Adjust based on taste preference.
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar Adjust based on taste preference.
  • Cooking spray
For the Dipping Sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt Optional for a lighter option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel the apples if you prefer and slice them into wedges about 1/2 inch thick, ensuring to remove the core and seeds.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar and set aside.
Breading Station
  1. Place the flour in one bowl, the beaten eggs in another, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  2. Add half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture to the breadcrumbs and mix well.
Coat the Apple Slices
  1. Dredge each apple slice in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. Dip it into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
  3. Press the slice into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure it is evenly covered. Repeat this process for all apple slices.
Air Fry
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  2. Arrange the breaded apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  3. Spray the slices lightly with cooking spray.
  4. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the apple fries are golden brown and crispy.
Serve
  1. While the apple fries are still hot, sprinkle them with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture for extra sweetness.
  2. Serve immediately with caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt for dipping.
