Buttery, cinnamon-y, tender, and so easy to make- you just can’t go wrong with these easy air fryer apples!

INGREDIENTS
  

  • 3 Pcs Granny Smith Apples , (peeled, cored, and sliced)
  • 1 tsp Brown Sugar 
  • 1 1/5 tsp Cinnamon 
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt
  • 3 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup , (divided)
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter , (melted)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Pre-heat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • Peel, core, and slice apples.
  • In a large bowl add the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix to evenly combine.
  • Coat the apple mixture with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and the melted butter. Stir to combine until the apple slices are evenly coated.
  • When the air fryer is hot, add the apple slices in a single layer and cook at 380 degrees for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes of cooking, flip the apples and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the apples appear golden.
  • Drizzle with the remaining maple syrup and serve immediately with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

NOTES

All air fryers are different. I used the Cosori Air fryer for this recipe. You may have to adjust time and temperature if you have a different model.
Storage Instructions:
  • These apples are best served fresh and warm out of the air fryer. If you do have leftovers, they can be reheated in the microwave.
Recipe Success Tips:
  • Cut the apples into uniform slices to ensure they cook evenly and all at the same time.
  • If you prefer sweeter apples I recommend using Honey Crisp. Granny Smith apples are more on the tart side but they are delicious paired with the sweet maple syrup and ice cream. 
  • Feel free to add any additional spices that you like, like nutmeg and allspice, or even season with apple pie spice if you have it on hand. 
  • These apples are best served fresh and warm out of the air fryer. If you do have leftovers, they can be reheated in the microwave.
  • These apples are deliciously served with vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream. They also make a delicious topping for pancakes and waffles!
