Ingredients
- 4 medium apples, cored and sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat to the right temperature, ensuring even cooking of the apple slices.
- Prepare the apple mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with honey, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss well to coat each slice evenly with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange apple slices: Place the coated apple slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping to ensure thorough cooking and caramelization.
- Air fry the apples: Cook the apples for 10 to 12 minutes at 350°F, checking for tenderness and slight caramelization. The apples should be soft but retain their shape.
- Serve warm: Remove the apples from the air fryer and serve immediately. For an extra treat, pair with yogurt or vanilla ice cream as an optional topping.
Notes
- Use firm apple varieties like Gala, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for best texture.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste or substitute with maple syrup for a different sweetness.
- Ensure apple slices are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Single-layer placement is key to prevent soggy, unevenly cooked apples.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
