Ingredients
For the Rings

- ¼ cup Milk Adds moisture to the egg wash; can use dairy or plant-based.
For the Coating
- ½ cup All-Purpose Flour Creates a base for the coating; swap with gluten-free flour if desired.

- ½ cup Breadcrumbs Forms the crunchy exterior; can use crushed cereal as an alternative.
For the Finishing Touch

Instructions
Preparation
- Start by rinsing and thoroughly drying your apples. Slice them into ¼-inch rings and remove the cores with a small cutter.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Let the apple rings rest for a moment. Serve warm, topped with powdered sugar or honey.
