Ingredients
  

3 medium-sized apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred for extra crunch)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup brown sugar

Pinch of salt

Cooking spray

Optional: caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Apples: Start by washing the apples and removing the core. Slice them into thin wedges (about 1/4 inch thick), ensuring they resemble fries.

    Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, place the all-purpose flour. Beat the eggs in a third bowl.

      Coat the Apple Wedges: Dip each apple wedge into the flour to coat it lightly, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure they adhere well.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Arrange in the Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the apple fries in a single layer, making sure they're not overcrowded (you may need to work in batches).

            Air Fry: Cook the apple fries for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.

              Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the fries from the air fryer. Serve warm with caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dipping. Enjoy your delicious and crispy air fryer apple fries!
