Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Peel the apples if desired and cut them into fry-like sticks. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Set up coating stations: In Bowl 1, add the flour. In Bowl 2, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined. In Bowl 3, mix the panko breadcrumbs, sugar, and cinnamon.

- Lightly spray the coated apple fries with nonstick cooking spray and arrange them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for 7–9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Serve warm with caramel dip, yogurt, or whipped cream.
