Ingredients
Scale
Apple Fries
- 2 large apples, sliced into fries
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when you start cooking the apple fries.
- Mix Flour and Cinnamon: In a bowl, combine the flour and cinnamon, stirring well to evenly distribute the cinnamon through the flour.
- Prepare Beaten Egg: In a separate bowl, beat the egg thoroughly to create a smooth egg wash for coating the apples.
- Combine Breadcrumbs and Sugar: In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and sugar together. This mixture will give the fries a sweet and crunchy crust.
- Coat the Apple Slices: Dip each apple slice first into the cinnamon-flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, dip it into the beaten egg, then finally coat it evenly with the breadcrumb and sugar mixture.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place the coated apple fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket to cook evenly without overcrowding.
- Apply Cooking Spray: Lightly spray the arranged apple fries with cooking spray to promote crispiness during cooking.
- Cook the Fries: Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to achieve even golden crispiness on all sides.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the apple fries from the air fryer, let them cool slightly, and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use firmer apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for fries that hold their shape well.
- For extra sweetness, sprinkle a little more cinnamon sugar on the fries immediately after cooking.
- If you don’t have cooking spray, you can lightly brush the apple fries with a small amount of melted butter or oil.
- Serve with a dipping sauce like caramel or vanilla yogurt for added flavor.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure crispness.
