Perfect for a healthy snack or a light dessert, these apples are air-fried to golden perfection and can be customized with your favorite apple variety.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 large apple, diced (about 2 cups or 285 g) – Honeycrisp recommended, but any variety will work
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (1.5 g)
  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup or honey (8 ml)
  • ½ tablespoon avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil (8 ml)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple: Using a sharp kitchen knife, cut the apple into approximately 1-inch pieces. Leave the skin on for added fiber or peel it if preferred.
  2. Coat the Apples: In a large bowl, toss the diced apples with cinnamon, maple syrup (or honey), and avocado oil (or extra virgin olive oil) until they are thoroughly coated.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes to ensure optimal cooking temperature.
  4. Cook the Apples: Place the coated apples in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 12-14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even caramelization. Watch closely as cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model. They are done when golden brown.
  5. Serve or Store: Remove the apples from the air fryer and serve immediately, or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days. Reheat gently before serving.

Notes

  • Leave the skin on your apples for extra fiber and texture.
  • For easier cleanup, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper sprayed lightly with cooking oil spray.
  • If you’re short on time, you can skip preheating; the apples may cook less evenly but will still taste great.
  • Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps the apples caramelize evenly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on low heat using the air fryer, oven, or microwave.
