Ingredients
Scale
- 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. This ensures that the appliance is at the right temperature when you’re ready to cook the apples. - Prepare the apples
Core and peel the apples, then cut them into 1-inch chunks. This size allows for even cooking and a perfect balance of crispy exterior and tender interior. - Season the apples
In a large bowl, toss the apple chunks with the melted coconut oil. Add the ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apple chunks are evenly coated, ensuring each piece is flavored. - Air fry the apples
Arrange the apple chunks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping. - Check for doneness
Check the apples for desired tenderness. If you prefer softer apples, you can cook them for an additional 2-3 minutes. - Serve
Serve warm on their own, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Best apple varieties: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Gala, Fuji, Pink Lady, or Golden Delicious.
- Oil substitutions: Use melted butter or neutral oil like canola oil.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
