Ingredients
  

3 medium-sized apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

Cooking spray

Optional: caramel sauce or yogurt for dipping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Cut each apple into even wedges or fry-shaped slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the core and seeds.

    Create the Coating Station: Set up three bowls for the breading process. In the first bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and half of the sugar. In the second bowl, beat the egg. In the third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs and the remaining sugar.

      Coat the Apple Fries: Dip each apple slice first into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s well coated, then into the beaten egg, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to make sure the crumbs adhere.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

          Arrange in Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated apple fries in a single layer in the basket. Make sure not to overcrowd them; you might need to work in batches.

            Air Fry the Apple Fries: Spray the tops of the apple fries lightly with cooking spray. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

              Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the apple fries from the air fryer. Serve warm with caramel sauce or yogurt for dipping, if desired.
