Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Air Fryer Apple Fries
  1. Begin by washing and peeling the apples. Carefully core them, then slice each apple into fry-shaped sticks about 1/2 inch thick. Set the apple fries aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Prepare three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one for the beaten eggs, and the last with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each apple slice lightly in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and roll it in the panko mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the coated apple fries in a single layer inside the basket.
  5. Set your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and cook the apple fries for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  6. Remove the apple fries from the air fryer and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over them. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
