Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium medium-sized apples Your choice of variety, such as Honeycrisp or Fuji.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour or almond flour.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup sugar Or to taste.
- 1 cup breadcrumbs Panko works best.
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and peel the apples. Remove the cores and slice them into thin wedges, about one-quarter inch thick.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly until they are frothy.
- Place the breadcrumbs in another bowl, ready for coating.
Coating and Frying
- Dip each apple slice first into the flour mixture, ensuring it is well-coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- Next, dip the floured apple slices into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Finally, coat the apple slices in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a light coat of oil.
- Arrange a single layer of apple fries in the basket, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.
- Cook for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the apple fries from the air fryer and repeat the process with any remaining slices.
Notes
For serving, pair with caramel dipping sauce, yogurt, or whipped cream. Experiment with spices and toppings for different flavors.
