These Air Fryer Apples are a quick and cozy treat made with just a few ingredients. They’re soft on the inside, lightly caramelized on the outside, and full of warm cinnamon flavor. Perfect as a simple dessert, breakfast topping, or healthy snack!
2 large apples
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
2 teaspoons oil or butter (optional, omit for fat-free)
Gather all ingredients. Lightly grease the air fryer tray or line it with air fryer liners.
Peel the apples if desired. Remove cores and seeds, then chop into small squares.
You can also cut them into apple sticks or thin slices for apple chips.
Place the apples in a bowl and toss with cinnamon, sweetener, and optional melted butter or oil.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Arrange apples in a single layer on the tray. Avoid overcrowding—cook in batches if needed.
Air fry for 7 minutes, then open the air fryer and shake or stir the apples.
Continue cooking for 8 more minutes, or until the apples are caramelized and tender to your liking.
Serve warm and enjoy!
