Air Fryer Apple Fries
Description
This recipe starts by peeling, coring, and slicing Gala apples into wedges. Each wedge is coated first in flour, then dipped in beaten eggs, and finally rolled in a mixture of graham cracker crumbs and sugar. This layered coating crisps up during air frying, providing a crunchy contrast to the tender apple inside.
The apple fries cook in batches at a high temperature, with a light spray of oil to promote browning without deep frying. The result is a golden, lightly sweetened treat that holds its shape and offers a pleasant textural contrast between crisp coating and warm fruit.
Serving the apple fries with caramel sauce adds a rich, buttery dip that complements the natural tartness of the apples and the sweetness of the coating. These make a snack or dessert option with a homemade feel and a fraction of the fat of traditional fried foods.
