For the Apple Fries
  • 2 large large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • to taste Nonstick cooking spray

Coating and Cooking
  1. Dredge each apple stick in flour, dip into the egg mixture, then coat well with the breadcrumb mixture.
  2. Lightly spray coated apple fries with nonstick spray. Place in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
  3. Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 7–9 minutes, shaking basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Serving
  1. Enjoy warm with caramel dip, yogurt, or whipped cream.

Notes

Pat the apple sticks dry well; this helps them crisp up nicely. Experiment with different apple varieties for unique flavors. Consider adding vanilla extract to the egg mixture for added flavor.
