Ingredients
  

For the Apple Wedges:

2 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are great choices)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crunch)

1 egg (beaten)

Cooking spray or olive oil spray

For the Caramel Whipped Cream:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples:

    - Wash and core the apples, then cut them into wedges (about 8 wedges per apple). Place them in a large mixing bowl.

      - Add lemon juice, cinnamon, and brown sugar to the apple wedges. Toss them gently to coat evenly and let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

        Set Up Breading Stations:

          - In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, pour in the beaten egg. In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs and a pinch of cinnamon for added flavor.

            Bread the Apple Wedges:

              - Take each apple wedge and first dip it into the flour, shaking off any excess.

                - Next, dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off.

                  - Finally, coat the wedge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs stick. Repeat this process with all the apple wedges.

                    Air Fry the Apple Wedges:

                      - Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

                        - Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the apple wedges in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. You may need to do this in batches.

                          - Spray the tops of the wedges lightly with cooking spray or olive oil for added crispness.

                            - Air fry for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.

                              Make the Caramel Whipped Cream:

                                - In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract.

                                  - Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium speed until it holds soft peaks (about 3-5 minutes). Be careful not to over-whip; you want it to be light and fluffy.

                                    Serve:

                                      - Once the apple wedges are done, remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly.

                                        - Serve the crispy apple wedges warm with the caramel whipped cream on the side for dipping. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the whipped cream for an extra treat!
