Apple Fries Ingredients
- 3 large Gala apples
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 container caramel sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Wash and core the Gala apples, then slice them into evenly sized fries approximately 1/2 inch thick. This ensures uniform cooking in the air fryer.
- Set up the coating stations: Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In a second bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In a third bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar thoroughly.
- Coat the apple fries: Dip each apple slice first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the graham cracker crumb mixture until well coated.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry the apple fries: Arrange the coated apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Cook for 7 minutes, turning halfway through cooking to achieve a crispy and golden finish on all sides.
- Serve with caramel sauce: Remove the apple fries from the air fryer and serve immediately with the container of caramel sauce for dipping, enjoying them warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use Gala apples for a perfect balance of sweetness and firmness.
- Ensure apple slices are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
- You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed digestive biscuits if preferred.
- For a spiced variation, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the graham cracker mixture.
- Serve immediately as they taste best fresh and crispy.
