# Ingredients:
→ Apple Fries
01 -
3 large Gala apples
02 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
03 -
3 large eggs, beaten
04 -
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
05 -
¼ cup granulated sugar
06 -
Vegetable oil spray
→ Caramel Dipping Sauce
07 -
1 container caramel sauce
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat air fryer to 380°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Peel, core, and cut each apple into 8 wedges for a total of 24 pieces.
02 -
Set up three stations: Place flour in a medium bowl. Beat eggs and pour into a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar, stirring to blend.
03 -
Working with one apple wedge at a time, first toss in flour to coat, then dredge in beaten eggs, and finally roll in the graham cracker-sugar mixture until completely coated. Place each coated wedge on the prepared cookie sheet.
04 -
Lightly coat the bottom of the air fryer basket with oil spray. This prevents sticking and helps achieve a golden, crispy coating.
05 -
Place apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Spray tops lightly with oil. Air fry at 380°F for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden and crispy. Repeat with remaining batches.
06 -
Pour caramel sauce into a serving bowl and microwave until warm. Serve apple fries hot with warm caramel sauce for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Gala apples work best for their sweet flavor and firm texture that holds up during cooking
02 -
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - cooking in batches ensures even crisping
03 -
The graham cracker coating creates a sweet, crunchy exterior similar to cinnamon sugar
04 -
Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best texture
