Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 large red apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
- 2 tablespoons melted refined coconut oil, divided
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: If your air fryer requires preheating, set it to 400°F (204°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
- Toss Apples with Seasoning: In a bowl, combine the cubed apples with 1.5 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil, and the cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to coat all apple pieces evenly.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket or tray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Air Fry the Apples: Place the coated apples into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F for approximately 14 minutes, shaking or tossing the apples halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Finish with Maple Syrup: Once the apples are golden brown and slightly tender, remove them from the air fryer. Immediately toss the hot apples with the remaining 1.5 tablespoons of maple syrup for extra sweetness and glaze.
- Serve: Enjoy warm apples on their own or use as a topping for ice cream, oatmeal, whipped cream, or incorporate into your favorite desserts.
Notes
- Use red apples for a balance of sweetness and tartness; varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp work well.
- Adjust the cinnamon amount to taste or add a pinch of nutmeg for extra spice.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey if preferred.
- To keep apples from sticking, ensure the air fryer basket is well sprayed with oil.
- These apples can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
