Ingredients
- 2 large apples, sliced into wedges
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Slice Apples: Wash and core the apples. Slice them into even wedges, ensuring they are not too thick so they cook evenly and get crispy.
- Prepare Coating: In a bowl, combine the flour or breadcrumbs, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix well to distribute the cinnamon and sugar evenly throughout the coating.
- Coat Apple Wedges: Dip each apple wedge into the flour or breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well on all sides.
- Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the coated apple wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap. Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until the coating is crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the apple fries carefully and let them cool for a couple of minutes—they will become crispier as they cool. Serve as a snack or dessert with a dip of choice, like caramel or yogurt.
Notes
- Using crisp varieties like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith apples works best for this recipe.
- If you prefer gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour instead of regular flour.
- For a sweeter option, sprinkle additional cinnamon sugar on the apple fries right after air frying.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
