Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are best)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- as needed cooking spray or olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- While it preheats, wash and peel the apples. Cut them into thin wedges or fry-shaped pieces.
- In one bowl, mix the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and add the vanilla extract. This will help the coating stick.
- In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Dip each apple slice into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Make sure they are well-covered.
- Place the coated apple fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Spray the apple fries lightly with cooking spray or olive oil, which helps them crisp up nicely.
- Air fry for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Once they are golden brown and crispy, remove them and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
