Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep Apples: Peel (if desired) and core the apples. Cut into fry-shaped sticks about ½ inch thick. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Set Up Coating Stations: Prepare three shallow bowls for coating. One with flour, one with whisked egg and milk, and one with panko, sugar, and cinnamon.
Coat Apples: Dredge apple sticks in flour, dip in egg wash, then roll in panko mixture, pressing gently.
Air Fry: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray coated apple fries with nonstick spray and arrange in a single layer.
Cook: Air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Toss cooked fries in remaining cinnamon-sugar mix if desired. Serve warm with dipping sauces.
