Description

Enjoy the crispy, warm delight of air-fried apple wedges seasoned with cinnamon and brown sugar. This simple recipe transforms fresh apples into a tasty snack or dessert, perfect for any time of day!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon of melted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup of granola for topping

Instructions

  1. Wash the apples thoroughly under running water to remove any wax or pesticides.
  2. Core the apples using an apple corer or a knife, carefully slicing around the core to remove it.
  3. Slice each apple into wedges, aiming for about 8 wedges per apple.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple wedges with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  5. In a separate small bowl, mix together brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Optionally, add a pinch of nutmeg.
  6. Pour melted butter over the apple wedges, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  7. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture over the apples and toss until well coated.
  8. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Arrange the apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, cooking in batches if necessary.
  10. Air fry for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  11. Remove when golden brown and tender, with a slightly crispy exterior.
  12. If using, sprinkle chopped nuts over the warm apple wedges.
  13. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast.
  14. Optionally, sprinkle granola on top for added crunch.
  15. Enjoy warm, sharing with friends and family for a cozy treat!
