Description
Transform ordinary apples into a warm, sweet treat with a hint of crunch using an air fryer. This simple recipe highlights the natural sweetness of apples, making it a perfect snack or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-sized apples (like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- 2 tablespoons butter (or a vegan alternative)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by washing and peeling the apples. Once that’s done, slice them into even wedges, about ¼-inch thick.
- Combine the sliced apples, melted butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and the salt in a large mixing bowl. Toss to coat the apples thoroughly.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Lay out the coated apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
- Set the timer for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them on their own or with vanilla ice cream or yogurt.
Notes
For a vegan option, swap butter for plant-based alternatives. Consider additions like raisins, cranberries, or oats for extra flavor and texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
