Main ingredients
- 2 large large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour Substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.
- 1 large large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs Substitute with gluten-free panko if needed.
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Preparation
- Peel (optional) and cut apples into fry-like sticks. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

- Dredge each apple stick in flour, dip into the egg mixture, then coat well with the breadcrumb mixture.
Cooking
- Lightly spray coated apple fries with nonstick spray. Place in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
- Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 7-9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Serving
- Enjoy warm with caramel dip, yogurt, or whipped cream.
Notes
Make sure to pat the apple sticks dry before coating them to ensure a crispy texture. Experiment with different types of apples and add other spices like nutmeg or clove for extra flavor.
