  • 2 tablespoons honey Can substitute with agave syrup or maple syrup for vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Feel free to experiment with nutmeg or pumpkin spice.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Vinegar or apple cider can be used as an alternative.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Core and slice your apples to about 1/4 inch thickness for even cooking.
  • In a medium bowl, combine apple slices with honey, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until all slices are coated.
  • Place the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.

Cooking

  • Air fry the apples for 10-12 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through for even cooking.
  • Test for doneness; slices should be soft yet maintain their shape.

Serving

  • Serve the warm air-fried apples immediately, optionally pairing with yogurt or ice cream.

Notes

For best results, store cooked apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Reheat in the air fryer to maintain texture.
