Ingredients
Apples
- 4 cups apples (about 4 small apples), peeled, cored, and chopped into 1-inch pieces
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Finishing Touch
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Peel and core the apples, then cut them into bite-sized pieces approximately 1 inch across to ensure even cooking and tender results.
- Toss with Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the chopped apples with melted vegan butter and cinnamon, stirring well to evenly coat all pieces with the buttery cinnamon mixture.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned apple pieces in the basket of your air fryer, spreading them out evenly to promote uniform cooking and browning on all sides.
- Air Fry the Apples: Cook the apples at 400°F (204°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to redistribute the apples and ensure consistent tenderness and golden color.
- Add Maple Syrup and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the apples to a mixing bowl, pour the maple syrup over them, and gently stir to coat. Serve the warm apples immediately for a cozy, flavorful dessert.
Notes
- You can use any variety of small apples, but sweeter varieties like Fuji or Gala work best for this recipe.
- If you prefer a softer texture, cook the apples a few minutes longer, checking frequently to avoid burning.
- This dessert can be served on its own or topped with vegan ice cream or dairy-free yogurt for added indulgence.
- Make sure to shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to prevent the apples from sticking and promote even cooking.
