Ingredients
Apples
- 2 large apples
Seasoning
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
Optional
- 2 tsp oil (or butter, or omit for fat free)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Peel the apples if you prefer, then chop them into small squares, apple sticks, or thinly sliced apple chips. Remove and discard the cores and seeds.
- Season the Apples: In a mixing bowl, toss the chopped apples with cinnamon, maple syrup, and the optional melted butter or oil until evenly coated.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C). Grease the air fryer tray or line it with air fryer liners to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Apples: Spread the seasoned apples in a single layer on the greased tray. If your air fryer basket is small, consider cooking in two batches to avoid overcrowding, which helps achieve crispiness.
- First Air Fry: Cook the apples for 7 minutes at 400°F.
- Shake and Continue Cooking: Open the air fryer, shake the tray or basket gently to turn the apples for even cooking. Then air fry for an additional 8 minutes or until the apples are crispy and caramelized to your liking.
Notes
- You can peel or leave the apple skins on based on your preference.
- Adjust the sweetness by choosing your preferred sweetener or omitting it entirely for less sugar.
- Using oil or butter adds richness but can be omitted for a fat-free option.
- Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding, ensuring better caramelization.
- Best served warm as a snack or dessert.
