Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large apple, diced I use Honeycrisp, but any variety of apple will work! (2 cups or 285 g)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (1.5g)
  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup or honey, (8ml)
  • ½ tablespoon avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil, (8ml)

Instructions
 

  • Using a sharp kitchen knife, cut apple in about 1 inch pieces. Leave the skin on for some extra fiber or remove it if you prefer.
  • In a large bowl, toss the diced apple with the cinnamon, maple syrup, and avocado oil until fully coated.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 375℉ (190°C) for 2-3 minutes. Place the apples in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry for 12-14 minutes, shaking halfway through. Be sure to watch them closely since cooking times will vary depending on your air-fryer. The apples are done when they are a golden brown color. 
  • Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Notes

Expert Tips
  • Leave the skin on your apples for extra fiber.
  • For easy cleanup, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper sprayed with a cooking oil spray.
  • If you're short on time, you can skip the preheating.
  • The apples won't cook quite as evenly, but I tested it and they still taste great.To caramelize the apples evenly, shake halfway through cooking.
Storage
Refrigerator - store leftover apples in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on low in the air fryer, in the oven, or in the microwave.

Dietitian Tip
Did you know that apples have a soluble fiber called pectin? Pectin not only keeps you full longer, but it also acts as a prebiotic and helps to support a healthy gut! These air fryer apples are a tasty way to incorporate apples into your diet!
