With the help of this characterization, we obtain an infinite family of APN functions for $ n=2m $ with $m$ being an odd positive integer: $ f(x)=a{\rm Tr}^{n}_{m}(bx^3)+a^q{\rm Tr}^{n}_{m}(b^3x^9) $, where $ a\in \mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ such that $ a+a^q\neq 0 $ and $ b $ is a non-cube in $ \mathbb{F}_{2^n} $.
