This Air Fryer Apples recipe transforms simple apples into a warm, spiced, and sweet treat that’s perfect as a dessert or a topping for pancakes and ice cream. Using an air fryer, the apples become tender with a caramelized glaze from maple syrup and warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, making it an easy, quick, and flavorful dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 2 large apples (preferably Honeycrisp)

Maple Spice Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and Dice Apples: Peel the apples thoroughly, then dice them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
  2. Prepare Maple Spice Mixture: In a small dish, melt the butter completely. Whisk in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until well combined to create a flavorful glaze.
  3. Toss Apples with Mixture: Add 2 tablespoons of the maple spice mixture to the diced apples. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer and Cook: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C). Place the coated apples in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry for 10 minutes. At the 5-minute mark, open the air fryer and toss the apples with an additional 1 tablespoon of the maple mixture to enhance the flavor and ensure even cooking.
  5. Finish with Remaining Mixture: Once cooking is complete, remove the apples and toss them with the remaining maple spice mixture to add a final burst of sweetness and spice.
  6. Serve: Serve the warm air-fried apples on their own or as a delicious topping for ice cream, whipped cream, or pancakes. Enjoy your comforting and easy dessert!

Notes

  • Choose apples that hold their shape well when cooked, like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala.
  • You can adjust the amount of spices to suit your taste preference.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture; leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the apples in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Pair with vanilla ice cream or drizzle extra maple syrup before serving for extra indulgence.
