These cinnamon apple wedges are the easiest way to get a healthy sweet fix. The air fryer concentrates the apples' sugars, giving them a soft, caramelized texture. On this page, you'll find a quick list of ingredients and simple instructions for air frying apples to perfection.
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch salt

Steps
- 01Core the apples and slice into wedges about 1/2 inch thick at the widest point. No need to peel.
- 02Toss the wedges with melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- 03Ready for the air fryer.
- 04Serve warm as a snack, over oatmeal, with ice cream, or alongside pork chops.
Leave the skin on. It holds the wedge together during cooking and adds a slight chew against the soft, caramelized flesh. Peeled wedges fall apart. The pinch of salt isn't an accident. It amplifies the cinnamon-sugar sweetness. Don't skip it.
