Air fryer Apple Ingredients:

Apples- I have used medium sized gala apples here but you can use any other variety of apples too like fuji, honey crisp or red delicious etc. I have peeled the apples but if you want you can leave the peel on.

Oil- Use any flavourless oil like canola oil, sunflower or vegetable oil. If you like coconut flavour, then you can use that too.

Honey/ Maple Syrup- Honey is a great option if you don’t want to use refined sugar. To make the recipe vegan, use maple syrup as substitute for honey.

Cinnamon- Apples taste great with cinnamon. Use good quality powdered cinnamon.

Optional-

Sugar- If you like sweeter desserts or the apple variety you are using is tart then along with honey, you can use some sugar also. Just make sure to use fine sugar (castor sugar or brown sugar) as if the sugar granules are too big they won’t melt completely.

Butter: You can use butter or a mix of oil and melted butter if you like buttery tastes in apples.

Vanilla: Along with cinnamon, you can also add 1/2 to 1 tsp vanilla extract. ‘Apple pie spice’ will also work in this recipe.

Ingredients:

Medium Apples- 2
Oil / Melted Butter- 1+1/2 tsp
Cinnamon (powdered)-1/2 tsp
Honey / Maple Syrup- 2 to 3 tsp (to taste)

(Substitutions: As sweetener, fine brown sugar can also be used.)

Directions:

Step 1:

Peel, core and slice the apples medium thick. Try to keep same thickness of all slices for similar cooking time.

Step 2:

Transfer these sliced apples in a bowl, add oil and 1/4 tsp cinnamon to them. Toss well so that all slices are coated properly.

Step 3:

Brush some oil in air fryer basket & spread apple slices in it (avoid overlapping).

Air fry for 8-10 minutes at 200°C (380°F) till apple become soft and tender (check with fork or knife). The air frying time can vary depending on the variety of apples used and air fryer model. So adjust accordingly.

Step 4:

Transfer these air fried apples while they are still hot to the same bowl we used before. Add honey (or maple syrup) & remaining cinnamon powder. Toss gently or mix with spatula. Taste & adjust the quantity of sweetener as per your taste. Enjoy these tasty warm cinnamon apples.

Tips:

Do not cut the apple slices too thin as they will become dehydrated and might not taste juicy later on.
If you are making larger quantities, make in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. My air fryer basket could fit only 2 apples at a time.
Don’t leave the uncooked sliced apples on kitchen counter for too long as they quickly turn brown due to oxidation.
For even cooking, spread the apple wedges or slices in a single layer in air fryer basket.

Serving Ideas for air fried apples:

1. For Breakfast- You can add these apples over porridge, chia seed pudding, oatmeal, overnight oats, oats pancakes or french toasts.

2. For Dessert- Enjoy these caramelised gooey apples with drizzle of salted caramel sauce, dulce de leche, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. You can also sprinkle some chopped walnuts for crunch.

3. For Snack- They are great as yummy filling snack too. I also like to add them to muesli, granola or smoothie bowl.
