This delightful recipe transforms fresh apples into a crispy, sweet snack that both kids and adults will adore. The air fryer allows you to enjoy the satisfying crunch of fried food without the guilt of excess oil.
Ingredients
Scale:
3 medium apples (preferably Granny Smith or Fuji)
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour or regular flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup panko breadcrumbs or regular breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing your apples. Wash, core, and slice them into thin wedges, resembling fries.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, pour in the applesauce.
In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Begin dipping each apple wedge into the flour mixture, coating it lightly.
Next, dip the floured apple into the applesauce, covering it completely.
Finally, roll the apple in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place the coated apple fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before serving, if desired.
