# Ingredients Required:

→ Fruit

01 - 2 large Honeycrisp apples

→ Dry Ingredients

02 - 190 grams all-purpose flour
03 - 4 tablespoons apple pie spice
04 - 4 tablespoons ground cinnamon
05 - 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (reserved for topping)
06 - 50 grams light brown sugar

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Others

09 - Olive oil nonstick spray
10 - Caramel sauce or powdered sugar glaze (optional)

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Peel the apples using an apple peeler, then cut each apple in half and slice into 1.25 cm (½ inch) wedges.
02 - Combine the all-purpose flour, apple pie spice, and 4 tablespoons of cinnamon in a medium bowl.
03 - Transfer the dry mixture to a large lidded container, add the apple wedges, secure the lid, and shake vigorously to coat all sides evenly.
04 - Using a large slotted spoon, remove the apples from the container and gently shake off excess flour mixture. Place them on a plate to prepare for dredging.
05 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
06 - Dip a few apple wedges at a time into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
07 - Return the egg-coated apple wedges back into the remaining dry flour mixture inside the container. Shake thoroughly again to apply a second coating.
08 - In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and reserved 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Set aside.
09 - Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil nonstick spray. Place coated apple fries in a single layer—cook in batches if necessary.
10 - Spray the top-facing apples liberally with olive oil spray and sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Air fry at 175°C for 6 minutes.
11 - Flip the apple fries, spray again with olive oil, sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture, then air fry for an additional 6 minutes at 175°C.
12 - Serve immediately, optionally drizzled with caramel sauce or a powdered sugar glaze.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure apple fries are arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket for maximum crispiness.
02 - Cooking times may vary depending on air fryer model; adjust accordingly.
03 - Best enjoyed immediately to maintain optimal texture.
