Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium apples Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala work great
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or maple syrup for refined sugar-free
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cornstarch optional, for light caramel-like coating
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: dash of nutmeg or vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Core and slice apples into ½-inch thick wedges. (Peeling is optional.)
  2. In a bowl, toss the apple slices with melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch (if using) until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Place apples in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until apples are tender and lightly caramelized.
  5. Serve warm — enjoy as-is, over oatmeal, with yogurt, or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Notes

Add chopped pecans or walnuts in the last 2 minutes of air frying for extra crunch.
For a lower sugar version, reduce the sweetener or use a sugar-free substitute.
Great as a side dish, healthy dessert, or topping for pancakes and waffles.
Want extra sauce? Add 1–2 tablespoons of apple juice when tossing for a bit of glaze.
