Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large firm apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith work best)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or melted butter
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Wash the apples thoroughly and pat them dry. You can choose to peel them or leave the skins on for extra fiber and texture. Core the apples and slice them into even wedges, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Ensuring the slices are uniform helps them cook evenly in the air fryer basket.
- Place the apple slices in a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle with the melted coconut oil or butter and the maple syrup if you are using it. Sprinkle the cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt over the apples. Toss everything together gently with a spoon or your hands until every slice is well-coated in the spice mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the seasoned apple slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. It is okay if they overlap slightly, but try not to crowd them too much. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, pause the air fryer and shake the basket or use tongs to flip the slices to ensure they brown evenly on both sides.
- Once the apples are tender and slightly golden brown around the edges, carefully remove them from the air fryer. Let them cool for a minute or two; they will firm up slightly as they sit. Serve them warm as a snack or a side dish.
