Apples
- 2 apples, peeled and sliced
Coating
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp salted butter, melted
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Prepare the apple mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the peeled and sliced apples with light brown sugar, melted salted butter, and cinnamon. Toss thoroughly to coat each apple slice evenly with the mixture.
- Preheat and prepare air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit (193 degrees Celsius). Line the air fryer basket with aluminum foil or an appropriate liner to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Air fry the apples: Place the coated apple slices evenly in the basket in a single layer. Air fry for 10 minutes, making sure to toss or shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
- Serve: Once air fried, serve the warm spiced apples immediately. For an extra special treat, top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
- Peeling the apples is optional, but helps achieve a softer bite.
- Tossing halfway during cooking helps even caramelization.
- Serve as a healthy dessert or side dish with ice cream or whipped cream as a delicious topping.
- Adjust cinnamon and sugar amounts based on sweetness and spice preference.
