Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 4 medium apples, cored and sliced

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (such as brown sugar, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute)

Fat

  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (such as coconut oil or olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Core and slice the apples into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Toss with Seasonings: In a mixing bowl, combine the apple slices with ground cinnamon and your choice of sweetener. Add melted butter or oil and toss everything together until the apples are evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes for optimal caramelization.
  4. Air Fry the Apples: Place the coated apple slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the apples are soft and caramelized.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the apples from the air fryer and serve warm as a snack on their own or as a topping for oatmeal, pancakes, or ice cream.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for best results.
  • Adjust sweetener quantity based on your taste preference or dietary needs.
  • For a vegan option, substitute butter with coconut oil or another plant-based oil.
  • Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
  • Leftover air-fried apples can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
