Ingredients
- 2 large apples
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Peel and core the apples, then slice them into wedges about ½ inch thick or dice into cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Coat with butter: Place the sliced apples in a bowl and drizzle the melted butter over them. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
- Air fry the apples: Arrange the butter-coated apples in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 12-15 minutes until they are tender and slightly browned around the edges.
- Add seasoning: Transfer the cooked apples back to the bowl, then sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt over them. Stir well to combine and coat all pieces with the sweet spice mixture.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture after air frying.
- Adjust air frying time as needed depending on apple size and air fryer model.
- For a vegan version, substitute melted butter with coconut oil or plant-based margarine.
- Serve warm as a side or over oatmeal, pancakes, or ice cream.
