Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 medium sized apples
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350° Fahrenheit to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the apples: Core and peel the apples, then cut them into 1-inch chunks for optimal cooking and texture.
- Coat the apples: In a large bowl, toss the apple chunks with melted coconut oil. Add cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing well until all pieces are evenly coated with the glaze.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the coated apple chunks in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Make sure they do not overlap to allow for proper crisping.
- Cook the apples: Air fry the apples at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Check for tenderness: Test the apples; if you prefer them softer, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Serve the air fried apples warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Use apples that hold shape well when cooked, such as Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji, for best results.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar based on personal preference.
- If you don't have vanilla extract, you can omit it or substitute with a pinch of nutmeg or allspice.
- To prevent sticking, ensure the air fryer basket is lightly sprayed with oil before placing the apples.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and texture, as the apples tend to soften further when cooled.
