FAQs
Can I use frozen apples for this recipe?
Frozen apples can be used, but they may release extra moisture and become softer. It’s best to pat them dry before coating and expect a shorter air frying time.
Can I make this recipe without an air fryer?
Yes, you can roast the apples on a baking sheet in a 375°F oven for about 15–20 minutes, tossing halfway through to achieve similar results.
