4.8 from 59 reviews

Deliciously tender and spiced air fryer apples coated with cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter, perfect as a warm snack or dessert. This quick and easy recipe highlights the natural sweetness of apples with a hint of spice, air-fried to perfection for a tender yet slightly caramelized treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 2 apples, peeled and sliced

Coating

  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp salted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
