These Air Fryer Apples are perfect for an easy, yet delectable fall treat. They’re like sauteed apples but made in the air fryer. With options for dairy-free, paleo and vegan.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter melted or for paleo/vegan/dairy-free, use refined coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 (810 grams or 1.75 pounds) sweet apples peeled, cored and sliced into 1/4" slices

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon.
    2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter, 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) maple syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Add the peeled and sliced apples and toss to coat them in the liquid.
    4 (810 grams or 1.75 pounds) sweet apples
  • If you have the type of air fryer basket where you can directly place the apples, then grease the basket. If you have a different style, then grease an air fryer-safe dish that’s large enough for all the apples and that will fit in your air fryer.
  • Transfer the apples (and all the liquid) to the greased air fryer basket or dish.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 °F (190 °C).
  • Cook for 12 minutes. Then stir to make sure the apples are well coated in the liquid, and cook for another 8-15 minutes, or until they’re soft enough for your liking.
  • Remove the apples from the air fryer and let them sit for 10 minutes and then serve. The liquid will gel a little as it cools.
  • Cool any leftovers and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • You can also use unrefined coconut oil if you don't mind coconut flavor. With refined coconut oil, there's no coconut flavor.
