Why You'll Love Air Fryer Cinnamon Apples:
Healthy & Low Calorie: A guilt-free sweet treat.
Quick & Easy: Ready in under 15 minutes.
Warm & Comforting: Perfect for any time of year.
Natural Sweetness: Uses minimal added sugar.
Ingredients:
2 medium-sized apples (Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp work best), cored and sliced or diced
1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil (melted)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Prep the Apples: Wash, core, and slice or dice your apples. Aim for even pieces so they cook uniformly. You can leave the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients.
Season: In a medium bowl, toss the apple slices with melted olive oil (or coconut oil), cinnamon, maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of salt until they are well coated.
Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Cook: Place the seasoned apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Shake: Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket gently halfway through, until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized.
Serve: Serve warm on their own, or with a scoop of Greek yogurt for added protein.
Pro Tips:
Don't Overcrowd: For best results and even cooking, ensure apples are in a single layer.
Adjust Sweetness: Taste the apples before adding maple syrup; some apples are naturally sweeter.
Spices: Experiment with a pinch of nutmeg or a tiny bit of ginger for different flavor profiles.
