Ingredients
  

For the Apple Rings

  • 2 tablespoons Milk Try almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
For the Coating
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Whole wheat flour can add a nutritious twist.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Feel free to omit for a lower-sodium snack.
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs or Crushed Cereal Swap for gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by rinsing, drying, and slicing your large apples into ¼-inch rings. Core each ring to remove the seeds and pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Prepare three shallow bowls: In the first, combine all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt. In the second, whisk together an egg with milk until smooth. In the third, mix breadcrumbs, sugar, and cinnamon.
  3. Coat each apple ring in the flour mixture, dip into the egg wash, and then place in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly for an even coating.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Arrange the coated apple rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, and air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  5. Allow the apple rings to rest for a minute before serving. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey if desired.

Notes

Pat apples dry to help the crust adhere better. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for crispy texture. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
