Ingredients
- 2 large apples
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Peel and core the apples, then slice them into wedges about ½ inch thick or dice into cubes, depending on your preference for texture and presentation.
- Coat Apples: Place the sliced apples in a bowl, drizzle the melted butter evenly over the apples, and toss well to ensure every piece is coated with butter.
- Air Fry Apples: Arrange the butter-coated apples in a single layer inside your air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and cook the apples for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they become tender and start to brown slightly at the edges.
- Season Apples: Remove the cooked apples from the air fryer and transfer them back to the bowl. Sprinkle brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt evenly over the warm apples, then stir to evenly coat all pieces with the seasoning.
Notes
- You can use any apple variety, but firmer types like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp hold their shape better.
- For a vegan option, replace melted butter with coconut oil or a vegan butter substitute.
- Adjust the cinnamon and sugar quantities to taste if you prefer a less sweet or spicier flavor.
- If you prefer softer apples, extend air frying time by a few minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
- These apples pair well with oatmeal, yogurt, or can be served as a simple dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
