Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 2 apples, peeled and sliced
Coating
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp salted butter, melted
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: In a small mixing bowl, combine the peeled and sliced apples with light brown sugar, melted salted butter, and cinnamon. Toss well to coat each apple slice evenly with the mixture.
- Preheat and prepare air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Line the air fryer basket with aluminum foil or a heatproof liner to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Air fry the apples: Place the coated apple slices evenly in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking or tossing the apples halfway through cooking to ensure even caramelization.
- Serve: Once cooked and tender, remove the apples from the air fryer. Serve warm on their own or topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent finish.
Notes
- Choose firm apples like Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp for best texture.
- Adjust cinnamon and sugar quantities to taste for a sweeter or spicier flavor.
- Use aluminum foil sparingly to allow proper air circulation in the fryer.
- Serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream enhances this dish as a dessert.
- Store leftover apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently before serving.
