Ingredients
- 2 medium apples
- 1 tsp. maple syrup
- 1/8 tsp. cinnamon
Instructions
- Core and slice the apples: Core the 2 medium apples and cut each into 16 wedges, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- Air fry the apple wedges: Arrange the apple slices skin-side-down in the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and cook for 10-12 minutes until the apple slices are fork-tender. Avoid opening the air fryer before 10 minutes to ensure proper cooking.
- Prepare the maple-cinnamon coating: While the apples cook, mix 1 teaspoon of maple syrup with 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl until well combined.
- Coat the cooked apples: Once air fried, transfer the hot apple wedges to the bowl with the maple syrup and cinnamon mixture. Stir gently to evenly coat all slices with the sweet, spiced glaze.
Notes
- Use firm apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best texture.
- If you prefer sweeter apples, adjust maple syrup quantity to taste.
- Serve warm as a healthy dessert, snack, or topping for oatmeal or yogurt.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and gently reheated.
