Wash and peel the apples if desired. Cut into wedges ½ inch thick, removing core and seeds. Mix cinnamon and sugar, set aside.

Set up a three-bowl breading station: flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and panko with half the cinnamon-sugar in the third.

Dredge each apple wedge in flour, dip in egg, then coat in breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all apple slices.

Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.

Arrange the breaded apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking spray.

Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Check for doneness at the 8-minute mark.

Sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture while still hot. Serve immediately with optional dips.
