Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 medium sized apples, cored and peeled
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350° Fahrenheit and allow it to heat up while you prepare the apples to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Apples: Core and peel the apples, then cut them into 1-inch chunks for uniform cooking and texture.
- Toss with Flavors: In a large bowl, combine the apple chunks with melted coconut oil. Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract over the apples and toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Spread the coated apple chunks in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overlapping to allow proper crisping and browning.
- Cook the Apples: Air fry the apples at 350° Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to promote even crisping.
- Check for Tenderness: After the initial cooking time, check the apples for your desired softness. If you prefer softer apples, continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Enjoy the warm air fried apples on their own or top them with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
Notes
- Make sure the apple chunks are spread out evenly in the air fryer basket to ensure they cook uniformly.
- If you don’t have coconut oil, you can substitute with melted butter or another neutral oil.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and brown sugar to your preferred sweetness and spice level.
- These air fried apples can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
- Use firmer apple varieties like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp for best results.
