Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Apples
- Peel the apples (optional) and slice them into wedges about 1/2 inch thick. Remove the core and seeds.
- In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
Step 2: Set Up the Breading Station
- Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third.
- Add half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture to the breadcrumbs and mix well.
Step 3: Coat the Apple Slices
- Dredge each apple slice in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip it into the egg, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Press it into the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly. Repeat for all apple slices.
Step 4: Air Fry
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
- Arrange the breaded apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Serve
- Sprinkle the hot apple fries with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture for extra sweetness.
- Serve immediately with caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt for dipping.
