Easy Air Fryer Apple French Toast Sticks Recipe Tips

• Use Stale or Day-Old Bread: Slightly stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better without becoming mushy.
• Cut Evenly: Ensure all breadsticks are the same size for even cooking.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Place sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket for crispy edges.
• Optional Toppings: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or serve with apple butter for extra flavor.
• Keep Warm: If cooking in batches, keep finished sticks warm in a low oven while the rest cook.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

• Storing: Store leftover apple French toast sticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven for best texture.
• Freezing: Freeze cooked French toast sticks in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. Thaw slightly before reheating.
• Reheating: Reheat refrigerated or thawed French toast sticks in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes or until warmed through and crispy. Avoid microwaving if you want to maintain a crunchy exterior.
