Ingredients

Scale

For the Apple Fries:

  • 2 large apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or your favorite variety)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Cooking spray

For the Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (optional for a lighter option)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples – Peel and slice apples into wedges. Mix cinnamon and sugar.
  2. Set Up the Breading Station – Place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Add cinnamon-sugar mixture to breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat the Apple Slices – Dredge apple slices in flour, egg, and breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Air Fry – Preheat air fryer, arrange slices, and air fry until golden brown.
  5. Serve – Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture and serve with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Using a firm, tart apple like Granny Smith helps the fries hold their shape and balances the sweetness of the coating.
  • If you prefer a softer fry, a sweeter apple like Fuji or Gala works wonderfully too.
  • The apple fries are best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer, but you can reheat them for a few minutes if needed.
  • Try experimenting with other dips like chocolate sauce or whipped cream for even more indulgence.
