Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries

Move over potato fries—apples are stepping up! These cinnamon-sugar dusted apple fries are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and made in the air fryer for a guilt-free treat. Dip them in caramel or whipped cream for the ultimate dessert-snack mashup!

 ingredients:
• 2 large apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala work best)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• Cooking spray or a light drizzle of melted butter

 Directions:

slice the apples
Peel and core apples, then cut into thick fry-like sticks. Pat dry with a paper towel.

set up the coating station
Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and crushed graham crackers mixed with cinnamon-sugar in a third.

coat the fries
Dredge apple sticks in flour, dip in egg, then roll in the graham cracker mix until well coated.

air fry
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange apple fries in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.

serve
Dust with a little extra cinnamon-sugar if you’re feeling fancy. Serve warm with caramel dip, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream.

 tips:
• Swap graham crackers for panko breadcrumbs if you want extra crunch
• Try different dips: cream cheese frosting, Nutella, or yogurt-honey mix
• Use firm apples so they don’t turn mushy after cooking
