Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Naturally Sweet – Uses fresh apples and a hint of cinnamon.
• Quick & Easy – Just 15 minutes from start to finish.
• Air Fried Goodness – Crispy outside, tender inside, no oil needed.
• Smart Snacking – A warm, satisfying option with minimal calories.

Ingredients

• 2 medium apples (any variety—Honeycrisp or Fuji work great)
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp zero-calorie sweetener (or maple syrup for natural sweetness)
• Optional: a light spray of olive oil or avocado oil
• Optional toppings: plain Greek yogurt, sugar-free caramel drizzle, or chopped nuts

Instructions

1. Prep the Apples
Wash and core the apples, then cut them into wedges (about 8–10 wedges per apple). No need to peel unless you prefer it.

2. Season the Wedges
In a bowl, toss the apple wedges with cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sweetener until evenly coated. For a slightly crisper texture, you can lightly spray the apples with cooking spray—but this is totally optional.

3. Air Fry
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the apple wedges in a single layer in the basket (work in batches if needed). Cook for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and tender.

4. Serve & Enjoy
Serve warm as-is or top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of granola, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup for an extra treat.

Tips for Success

• Choose Crisp Apples: Firmer varieties like Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp hold up better during air frying.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Keep a single layer for even cooking and caramelization.
• No Air Fryer? Bake in the oven at 400°F for 15–20 minutes on a parchment-lined tray.
• Sweeten Naturally: For a cleaner option, sub in a dash of maple syrup or mashed dates.
