Air Fryer Apple Fries
Firm apple sticks receive a flour, egg-milk and cinnamon-panko coating before cooking in spaced air-fryer baskets.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 2 large apples firm, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- cooking oil spray as needed
Instructions
- Core two large apples, peeling if desired, and cut even sticks about 1/2 inch thick. Blot thoroughly dry.
- Put flour in one bowl, beaten egg with milk in another, and panko, sugar and cinnamon in a third. Dust each stick, dip and drain extra egg, then press on crumbs.
- Preheat as directed by your appliance to 380°F. Place coated sticks in one spaced layer and mist lightly with oil. Air fry 7–9 minutes per basket, turning gently halfway, until browned and tender; extend as necessary. Repeat with remaining fruit, allowing extra time if more than two baskets are required.
- Serve promptly, dividing the cooked apples into four snack portions. Offer any dip separately if desired.
Notes
- Best eaten fresh. Refrigerate cooled leftovers and use within two days for quality.
- Additional baskets increase the cooking time.
