## How to Make Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries
## Ingredients:
– 3 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 2 tbsp sugar
– Pinch of salt
– 2 large eggs, beaten
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– Optional: caramel sauce or whipped cream for dipping
## Directions:
1. Start with preheating your air fryer to 380°F or 193°C.
2. Core your apples and slice them into thick wedges. Maintain the peel for added nutrients.
3. Mix all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
4. Keep the beaten eggs and panko breadcrumbs in separate bowls.
5. Slightly dip each apple wedge in the flour mixture, coat it with the beaten eggs followed by the panko breadcrumbs.
6. Now, arrange these apple slices in your air fryer basket. Ensure they don’t overlap with each other. Do this in batches if required.
7. Allow them to air fry for about 10-12 minutes until they turn golden and crispy. Toss them around midway.
8. Once ready, serve them warm accompanied by a dipping sauce of your choice – caramel or whipped cream are good choices!
## How to Serve Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries
