Crispy Air Fryer Apples (Printer-friendly)

Tender apple slices coated in cinnamon-sugar and air fried to golden perfection.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 large apples (Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji)

02 - 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

03 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

05 - 1/4 cup quick oats or gluten-free breadcrumbs

06 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)

07 - Pinch of salt

08 - Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving

01 - Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch wedges.

02 - In a bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Add apple slices and toss to coat evenly.

03 - In a separate bowl, mix oats (or breadcrumbs), flour, and salt. Dredge buttered apple slices in this mixture to coat.

04 - Arrange the coated slices in a single layer in your air fryer basket.

05 - Air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the apples are golden and crisp.

06 - Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

01 -

You get that perfect apple pie flavor in under 15 minutes without heating up your whole oven
The coating creates this incredible crispy exterior while the apple stays tender inside

02 -

Overcrowding the basket is the quickest way to end up with soggy apples instead of crispy ones
The coating will seem loose before cooking but the heat creates this amazing crust that holds everything together

03 -

Panko breadcrumbs create an even crunchier coating than oats if you want maximum texture
A tiny pinch of nutmeg or cardamom in the sugar mix makes these taste absolutely gourmet
