Ingredients
  

For the Rings
  • 2 large Apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Gala) Provides the base for the rings.
  • 1 large Egg Acts as a binding agent; substitute with flax egg for vegan.
  • 1/4 cup Milk Adds moisture to the egg wash; can use dairy or plant-based.
For the Coating
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour Creates a base for the coating; swap with gluten-free flour if desired.
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon Infuses flavor; adjust according to taste.
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs Forms the crunchy exterior; can use crushed cereal as an alternative.
For the Finishing Touch
  • 1 tbsp Powdered Sugar Optional but adds sweetness and visual appeal.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by rinsing and thoroughly drying your apples. Slice them into ¼-inch rings and remove the cores with a small cutter.
  2. Gather three shallow bowls. Fill one with flour sprinkled with a pinch of salt, the second with whisked egg and milk, and the third with a mixture of cinnamon and breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each apple ring in the flour, then dip it into the egg wash, and roll it in the breadcrumb mix. Ensure each ring is evenly coated.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray the basket lightly with cooking spray, then arrange the coated apple rings in a single layer. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
  5. Let the apple rings rest for a moment. Serve warm, topped with powdered sugar or honey.
