Air Fryer Apple Fries Ingredients
2 Honeycrisp apples (large)
1 ½ cups of flour
4 Tablespoons Apple Pie Spice
5 Tablespoons Cinnamon (reserve one tablespoon for top coating)
2 eggs
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
¼ cup of Brown Sugar
How to Make Fried Apples in the Air Fryer
1. Use an apple peeler to peel the skins off each apple. Cut apples in half, then into ½-inch wedges.
2. Whisk together the flour, apple pie spice, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
3. Transfer the flour mixture to a large plastic bowl with a lid then add all the apple wedges. Shake vigorously to coat all sides of the apples.
4. Use a wire ladle (or large slotted spoon) to remove the apple wedges from the Tupperware bowl. Shake off the excess flour mixture and place the wedges on a plate to prepare them for dredging.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract.
6. Then, dredge a few apples at a time in the egg mixture and return the wedges to the excess flour mixture and shake them all again to create a second coating.
7. Mix together the brown sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and set aside.
8. Add the coated apple fries to the air fryer basket in a single layer (you will need to make these in two batches).
9. Liberally spray the top-facing apples with vegetable or canola oil then sprinkle some of the brown sugar/cinnamon coatings on top of each apple, and cook for 6 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
10. Open the basket, flip the apples, spray, and sprinkle the other sides of the apples. Then, return the basket and cook for an additional 6 minutes.
11. Serve with caramel sauce or a simple powdered sugar glaze
