This Easy Air Fryer Apples with Cinnamon recipe offers a quick and delightful way to enjoy tender, caramelized apples with a hint of warm cinnamon. Perfect as a healthy snack or a cozy dessert, these air-fried apples are lightly sweetened with maple syrup and enhanced with avocado oil for a deliciously guilt-free treat.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 large apple, diced (about 2 cups or 285 g, Honeycrisp or any variety)
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (1.5 g)
  • ½ Tbsp maple syrup or honey (8 ml)
  • ½ Tbsp avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil (8 ml)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Using a sharp kitchen knife, cut the apple into approximately 1-inch pieces. You may leave the skin on for added fiber or peel it off according to your preference.
  2. Toss with seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the diced apples with cinnamon, maple syrup, and avocado oil. Toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the mixture.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375℉ (190°C) and let it preheat for 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  4. Air fry the apples: Place apples in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12 to 14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning. Keep an eye on them as air fryer times may vary. The apples are ready when they turn a golden brown color.
  5. Serve or store: Remove the apples from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Alternatively, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.

Notes

  • Use any apple variety you prefer, but Honeycrisp or Fuji apples work best for a balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon and maple syrup to taste for a sweeter or spicier flavor.
  • For a vegan option, ensure the maple syrup is pure or substitute with agave nectar instead of honey.
  • Shaking the air fryer basket halfway through cooking is important to cook the apples evenly and avoid burning.
  • Serve as a warm snack, dessert, or topping for oatmeal and yogurt.
