Description

Air Fryer Apples are deliciously, tender, sweet and full of cinnamon spice. You can top cereal, granola, ice cream or have them as a side to dinner. It's like a yummy apple pie without the crust or turning on your oven!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored, pat dry with towel and cut into 1 inch cubes.
  • 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
  • 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 ground ginger
  • 1/4 ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Lightly spray your air fryer with a mister that has vegetable or canola oil.  Or use a silicone brush to lightly coat the basket.  Preheat at 390°F.  for about 3 minutes. *
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the apples, butter and spices.  Stir to completely coat the apples.
  3. Place apples in basket and cook for 5 minutes.  Give them a shake and continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes or until apples are cooked through.  Cut one in half to see if they are tender enough for you.  If not, cook another 1-2 minutes.
  4. Serve warm.

Notes

*Add both tablespoons of brown sugar if you like your fried apples to be sweeter.

* I prefer not to use the canned non-stick spray since it's not recommended on the air fryer basket.  

*My fryer is a Phillips XXL and goes up to 390°.  If yours only goes up to 375°, that's fine, the apples will just need an  extra few minutes to cook.

*You can easily double the recipe and if all the apples don't fit in an even layer, cook in two batches.

*Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator.

*You an freeze the cooked apples in an airtight container for 2 month.  Defrost overnight in the refrigerator but they will be much softer after defrosting.
