Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries are a delicious and healthy snack made by coating apple sticks in a cinnamon-sugar breadcrumb mixture and air frying them to golden perfection. This easy recipe offers a sweet, crunchy treat perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 3 medium apples, peeled and sliced into sticks

Coating

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Peel the apples and slice them into uniform sticks, about 3-4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Mix coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with ground cinnamon and sugar, mixing thoroughly to infuse the crumbs with sweet and spicy flavor.
  3. Dredge the apple sticks: First, coat each apple stick evenly in flour. Then dip it into the beaten eggs to help the breadcrumb coating adhere. Finally, press the apple sticks into the cinnamon-sugar breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
  4. Arrange in air fryer: Place the coated apple sticks in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow hot air circulation for crispiness.
  5. Air fry: Cook the apple fries at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve warm: Remove the crispy apple fries from the air fryer and serve them immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Choose firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best results.
  • Adjust sugar and cinnamon to suit your sweetness preference.
  • For extra crispiness, spray apple sticks lightly with cooking spray before air frying.
  • Serve with a side of caramel sauce or yogurt dip for added flavor.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the air fryer to restore crispness.
