Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries
  1. Begin by slicing 2 large apples into 1/2 inch wedges, removing the core and seeds. Peel if desired.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 2 teaspoons of cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Set aside half for later.
  3. Prepare three shallow bowls: one with 1/2 cup of flour, one with 2 beaten eggs, and one with 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs mixed with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  4. Dredge each apple slice in flour, dip in eggs, then press into the panko mixture to ensure full coating.

  6. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the warm apple fries. Serve with dipping sauces.
