Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 large apples
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel and core the apples. Slice them into wedges about ½ inch thick or dice them into cubes depending on your texture preference.
  2. Coat with Butter: Place the prepared apples in a bowl and drizzle the melted butter over the top. Toss gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Air Fry the Apples: Arrange the coated apples in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 12-15 minutes, checking that the apples become tender and start to brown around the edges.
  4. Add Flavorings: Remove the apples from the air fryer back into the bowl. Sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt over the hot apples. Stir gently to coat them evenly and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • You can use any variety of apples, but sweeter types like Fuji or Gala work especially well.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar depending on your desired sweetness or substitute with a sugar substitute for a lower sugar option.
  • Serve as a topping for oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes, or ice cream for a comforting treat.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
