Creating Crispy Air Fryer Apple Fries is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Apples: Wash and core the apples. Slice them into thin wedges or sticks, depending on your preferred fry shape.

2. Set Up Breading Stations: In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs with vanilla extract in the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in the third.

3. Coat the Apple Wedges: First, dip each apple slice into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick well.

4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.

5. Arrange the Wedges: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the apple fries in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch each other for even cooking.

6. Cook: Cook the apple fries in the air fryer for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

7. Check for Crispness: Depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of your apple slices, the cooking time may vary. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

8. Cool Down: Once cooked, remove the apple fries from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute.

9. Serve: Transfer the crispy apple fries to a platter and enjoy!
