Air Fryer Apples

Megan
Air fryer apples are maple glazed, cinnamon spiced apples made in the air fryer. These air fry baked apples are a quick, easy to make and taste just like warm apple pie filling. Enjoy these air fried apples as is, with yogurt for a healthy breakfast or with cold vanilla ice cream for a deliciously cozy dessert.

Equipment

  • 1 air fryer
  • 1 knife
  • 1 mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored and sliced or diced
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut oil or other neutral oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple pie spice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup, divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 (190 C). 
    Peel, core and cut the fresh apples into slices or chunks. Make sure to cut the apples into even sized pieces. This ensures the apple pieces fry evenly and at the same time. 
    2 medium apples, peeled, cored and sliced or diced
  • Toss the apples in a bowl with oil, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and ground cinnamon until all the apple chunks or slices are fully coated. 
    1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut oil or other neutral oil , 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple pie spice, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup, divided
  • Lightly spray the air fryer tray or basket with a non stick cooking spray. Place the diced apple pieces in a single layer.
    Air fry for 5 - 6 minutes. Then carefully pull the air fryer basket out, flip each of the apple pieces and return to the air fryer for an additional 5 - 6 minutes. Air fry the apples for 10 - 12 minutes total or until your preferred level of caramelization.
  • After the apples are air fried, cool the them slightly until warm. Serve as is or with ice cream, whipped cream, yogurt or to top a simple bowl of oatmeal.

Notes

I recommend buying apples that would normally be used for baking such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith,  Braeburn, Cortland, Jonathan, Fuji or Gala.
Store: Transfer any leftover caramelized apples into an air tight container to store in the fridge for up to 4 - 5 days. Enjoy cold from the fridge or reheat in the microwave for 20 - 30 seconds.
