how to make Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries
Ingredients :
- 2 large apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
- 65 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 60 grams panko breadcrumbs or regular breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Cooking spray
- 120 milliliters caramel sauce (optional)
- 120 grams vanilla yogurt (optional, for a lighter accompaniment)
Directions :
- Peel apples if you want and cut them into wedges about 1.25 centimeters thick. Remove cores and seeds.
- Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in a second bowl, and panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Add half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture to the breadcrumbs and mix well.

- Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning once, until the apple fries are crisp and golden brown.
- After frying, immediately sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar over the hot apple fries. Serve right away with caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt for dipping.
