# Ingredients:
→ For the apple fries
01 -
3 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced into wedges
02 -
1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour
03 -
2 large eggs
04 -
1 cup (100 g) breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
05 -
1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
06 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
→ For the dipping sauce
07 -
1/2 cup (120 ml) caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt
08 -
A sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by peeling those beautiful apples, removing the cores, and slicing them into nice even wedges. Give them a quick pat with paper towels to get rid of any extra moisture – this helps the coating stick better!
02 -
Grab three shallow bowls or plates. Put the flour in the first one, beat those eggs in the second one until they're nice and smooth, and in the third, mix together your breadcrumbs with sugar and cinnamon for that sweet coating.
03 -
Take each apple wedge and give it a light dust in the flour (shake off any extra), then dip it in the beaten egg until it's completely covered, and finally press it into that sweet breadcrumb mixture, making sure it gets coated all over. Set aside and repeat with all your apple slices.
04 -
Warm up your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes. While it's heating, you can finish coating any remaining apple slices.
05 -
Arrange your coated apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket – don't overcrowd them or they won't get crispy! You'll probably need to cook them in batches. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through, until they're beautifully golden brown and crisp on the outside.
06 -
Serve these delicious treats while they're still warm with some caramel sauce or vanilla yogurt on the side for dipping. If you're feeling fancy, add an extra little sprinkle of cinnamon on top!
# Notes:
01 -
These apple fries are a delicious twist on traditional dessert - crispy on the outside, warm and tender inside!
02 -
Use Granny Smith apples for a tart flavor that balances the sweet coating, or try Honeycrisp for a naturally sweeter taste.
03 -
You can adjust the sweetness by using less sugar in the breading mixture or omitting it completely if you prefer.
