  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large tart apples (Granny Smith or Fuji)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional for drizzling)
  • Cooking spray or oil spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Wash the apples thoroughly. Core and slice into 1/4-inch thick fries or wedges.
  2. In a bowl, place the flour. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar.
  3. Dip each apple fry into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the apple fries with cooking spray.
  5. Arrange the coated apple fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
  6. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Check for crispiness and adjust time as needed.
  7. Transfer to a serving plate. Optionally drizzle with honey or serve with caramel sauce. Enjoy hot!

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Fuji to prevent mushiness.
  • Adjust cooking time based on slice thickness for perfect crispiness.
  • Try different coatings such as crushed cookies or granola for variety.
  • Serve immediately for best crunch, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
