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)
- Prepare the Apples: Core and slice the apples into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
