Crispy and sweet Air Fryer Apple Fries are a delightful, healthier alternative to traditional fried desserts. Made with fresh apples coated in a cinnamon-sugar panko breadcrumb mix and cooked to golden perfection in the air fryer, these fries offer a perfect balance of crunch and natural fruit sweetness. Ready in just 25 minutes, they are an easy snack or dessert to enjoy warm with caramel dip, yogurt, or whipped cream.

Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work great)

Coating

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Other

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prep apples: Peel the apples if desired, then cut them into fry-like sticks. Use a paper towel to pat the apple slices dry and remove any excess moisture to help the coating stick better.
  2. Set up coating stations: Prepare three separate bowls: one with flour; a second with the egg whisked together with milk; and a third with the panko breadcrumbs mixed with sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Coat apples: For each apple stick, first dredge it in the flour, then dip it into the egg and milk mixture, and finally coat it thoroughly with the cinnamon-sugar panko breadcrumb mix.
  4. Air fry: Lightly spray the coated apple fries with nonstick cooking spray to enhance crispiness. Arrange them in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Cook: Air fry the apple fries at 380°F (190°C) for about 7 to 9 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping and golden color.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the apple fries warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauce such as caramel dip, yogurt, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • You can choose to peel the apples or leave the skin on based on your preference.
  • For extra crispiness, ensure apple slices are patted dry before coating.
  • Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, which can prevent even cooking.
  • Try using different apple varieties for varied sweetness and tartness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
