Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer.
- Peel (optional) the apples, slice them into fry-like sticks, and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Create coating stations: In one bowl, add flour; in another, whisk together egg and milk; in a third bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, sugar, and cinnamon.
Coating
- Dredge each apple stick in flour, dip it in the egg mixture, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
Cooking
- Lightly spray the coated apple sticks with nonstick spray and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 380°F (190°C) for about 7–9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
Serving
- Enjoy warm with caramel dip, yogurt, or whipped cream, or eat them plain.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for best results.
