Crispy Air Fryer Cinnamon Apple Fries
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 2 large Granny Smith apples (firm and tart work best!) 🍏
- ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs (the secret to that major crunch!) 🍞
- ¼ cup Granulated sugar 🍬
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon 🪵
- 2 Large eggs, beaten 🥚
- ½ cup All-purpose flour 🌾
- Cooking spray (butter flavor is a game-changer!) 🧈
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Apples: Peel and core your apples, then slice them into thick “fry” sticks. 🍏🔪
- The Coating Station: Set up three shallow bowls. Bowl 1: Flour. Bowl 2: Beaten eggs. Bowl 3: Mix the Panko breadcrumbs, sugar, and cinnamon. 🥣🥣🥣
- Dredge & Coat: Dip each apple slice into the flour, then the egg, and finally press firmly into the cinnamon-panko mixture until fully coated. 🍏🤝🍞
- Air Fryer Ready: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. ⏲️🌬️
- Arrange: Place the apple fries in a single layer in the basket. Do not overcrowd! Give the tops a quick spritz of cooking spray to help them crisp up. 🌬️✨
- Cook: Air fry for 8–10 minutes, gently flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. ⏲️🥨🤤
- Serve: Enjoy them warm! 🍽️😋
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The Perfect Dip: These are incredible when served with a side of caramel sauce, whipped cream, or a simple vanilla yogurt dip! 🍯🍦🎯
- Keep them Crispy: If you have leftovers (unlikely!), pop them back in the air fryer for 2 minutes to bring back that crunch. 🌬️💎
