Each apple slice is tender on the inside and has a sugary caramelized outer texture that is yummy. Because they are tender on the inside and have a sugary caramelized outer texture that is so yummy, they will disappear as fast as you make them.

I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Because air fryers can vary depending on size and wattage, cook time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.

FAQ's

What types of apples can be used in this recipe?

A few different kinds of apples are Granny Smith, Fuji, Honey Crisp, Gala and Pink Lady. Some are tart apples while others are sweeter. It really comes down to personal taste and your favorite apple type. 

What other dishes can I make with air fryer apples?

Use fresh apples to make a scrumptious apple pie filling. Apple sticks are fun for the kids served along a dipping sauce. Apple butter is delicious on top of warm French toast or another sweet treat like apple cinnamon rolls.

How do I store leftovers?

Because these apples are so yummy, they may not last long enough to have leftovers. However, if you do have leftovers, store in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 2 days. To freeze, place in your freezer in an airtight container to pull out at a later date.

What other toppings can be used on these apples?

Maple syrup, warm butter with apple pie spice mix or an apple cider glaze are all delicious topping options. A light dusting of powdered sugar or a brown sugar oatmeal crumble, are delicious toppings too.
