This Air Fryer Apples recipe offers a quick and delicious way to enjoy tender, cinnamon-sugar coated apple slices that can be served as a warm snack or dessert. Using an air fryer ensures the apples become perfectly golden brown and fork-tender with minimal effort and in just 20 minutes.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Apples

  • 3 medium Granny Smith apples

Coating

  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Other

  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer. Set your air fryer to 375°F and let it preheat to ensure even cooking of the apple slices.
  2. Prepare the cinnamon sugar. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, mixing well to create the coating.
  3. Core and slice the apples. Wash and dry the Granny Smith apples thoroughly. Use an apple corer to remove the cores, then cut the apples into 1/2-inch thick slices for even cooking.
  4. Coat the apple slices with butter. Place the apple slices in a large bowl, drizzle with the melted butter, and gently stir to ensure each slice is evenly coated.
  5. Add the cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture over the butter-coated apple slices. Toss again until all slices are thoroughly coated with the cinnamon sugar.
  6. Prepare the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the apples after cooking.
  7. Arrange the apple slices. Place the coated apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each slice. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  8. Air fry the apples. Cook the slices for 5 minutes, then flip them over and air fry for an additional 5 to 6 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and become fork tender.
  9. Serve. Enjoy the warm apple slices on their own, or serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and browning.
  • Use Granny Smith apples for their tart flavor which balances well with the cinnamon sugar coating.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
  • Adjust cooking times slightly depending on the thickness of apple slices and your specific air fryer model.
  • These apples can be served warm or at room temperature and make a great healthy dessert or snack.
