Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 6 apples
For Tossing
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
For Flavoring
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly. Then, toss them gently with the vegetable oil to help them caramelize in the air fryer.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the apple slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate and cook the apples evenly without steaming.
- Air Fry: Cook the apples at 400°F (204°C) for approximately 14 minutes. During this time, the apples will begin to brown and become tender. No stirring or tossing is required during cooking, which helps maintain their shape.
- Flavor and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the apples to a bowl and stir in maple syrup, sugar, and cinnamon to add sweetness and a warm spice note. Serve warm or at room temperature as desired.
Notes
- Different apple varieties can be used; firmer apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp hold up well in the air fryer.
- Adjust sugar and cinnamon quantities to taste or substitute with your preferred sweetener.
- Serve these alongside oatmeal, yogurt, or ice cream for added flavor and texture.
- Store leftover apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
