Description
Air fryer apples are a quick, healthy, and flavorful snack or dessert. They turn tender and sweet, coated in cinnamon and a touch of sugar, making them perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a simple treat.
Ingredients
- 4 small/medium Gala apples
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon, divided
- 1 tablespoon canola oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Remove the cores from the apples and slice into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Peel the apples if you prefer, or leave the skins on.
- In a bowl, toss the apple slices with oil, vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
- Place the apples in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overlapping as much as possible. You can lightly spritz the basket with oil, but it is optional.
- Air fry for 10 minutes or until the apples are soft and tender. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to help the apples cook evenly.
- Transfer the cooked apples to a bowl. Toss with melted butter, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and sugar until coated.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Slice apples right before cooking to prevent browning.
- Use firm, sweet apple varieties like Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp.
- For saucier apples, add more melted butter or use maple syrup instead of sugar.
- Monitor the apples during cooking as air fryer times may vary.
- Store leftover apples in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
