Ingredients
- 3 medium firm apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 large large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs or crushed cereal
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce, warmed
- as needed oil spray
Instructions
- Cut apples into fry-shaped batons about 1/2 inch thick. Leave skin on for texture if desired.
- Set up three dishes: flour, beaten egg, and panko. Toss apple fries in flour first, then dip in egg, then coat in panko.
- Lightly spray coated apple fries with oil spray. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 380°F / 193°C for 8–10 minutes until coating is golden and apples are tender but not mushy.
- While still hot, toss in a bowl with cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately with warm caramel sauce if desired.
Chef's Notes
Chef's Notes: Use firm apples — soft varieties will turn to mush. Granny Smith gives a nice tart contrast to the cinnamon sugar. These are best eaten immediately; they don't reheat well. Contains: Egg, Wheat.
