Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by selecting fresh, firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for your Air Fryer Apple Fries. Peel them if desired, then slice into fry-like sticks about 1/4 inch thick, aiming for uniformity. Pat the apple slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Prepare three shallow bowls for an efficient coating station: in the first bowl, add flour; in the second, whisk together an egg with a splash of milk; in the third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon.
  3. Dredge each apple stick in flour, dip in the egg mixture, and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coat.
  4. Lightly spray the coated apple fries with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the apple fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Once crispy and golden brown, remove the fries from the air fryer and let cool for a minute. Serve warm with dips like caramel sauce, whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
