Coating
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Prepare the apples: Peel and core the apples, then slice them into wedges about ½ inch thick or dice into cubes, depending on your preference.
- Coat the apples: Place the apple slices in a bowl and drizzle the melted butter over them. Toss gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
- Air fry the apples: Arrange the coated apples in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the apples become tender and start to caramelize around the edges.
- Add seasoning: Transfer the cooked apples back into the bowl and sprinkle brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt on top. Stir well to evenly coat the apples with the seasoning.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
- The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your air fryer and the thickness of apple slices.
- For a vegan version, substitute the melted butter with coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative.
- These apples can be served warm on their own, over oatmeal, pancakes, or ice cream.
