- In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
- Dip each apple fry into the flour mixture, coat well, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Cooking
- Place the coated apple fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
- Lightly spray the apple fries with oil spray.
- Cook in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Once golden and crispy, remove the apple fries and let them cool slightly before serving.
