Ingredients
How to Make Air Fryer Baked Apples
- 4 apples
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup)
- lemon juice (if desired)
Tools
- Air Fryer
Procedure
You can place whole apples with the core, or you can peel them and cut them into slices (this reduces the cooking time).
1. Preheat the air fryer to about 356°F.
2. While the air fryer is heating, wash and dry the apples. You can leave the peel on or peel them as you prefer.3. Place the whole apples in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are stable and won’t roll around.
4. Cook the whole apples in the air fryer for about 10-15 minutes, at 356°F, depending on the size and variety of the apples.
5. During cooking, the apples will become soft, and the core will be edible. Check doneness by inserting a knife; it should slide in easily when the apples are done.
6. Once cooked, remove the apples from the air fryer and serve them hot. You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or powdered sugar, honey, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
Air fryer baked apples will be tender and delicious. You can enjoy them on their own or with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy your meal!
