Servings: 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 apples peeled and sliced
- 1 Tbsp butter melted
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Combine the apples, melted butter, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Transfer to air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 380 degrees F for 8–10 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
- Toss with maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- Apple picking: I recommend crisp, firm, and slightly tart apples that will hold their shape well. My favorites are Granny Smith, but see post above for other great options.
- Use freshly sliced apples. While you can slice them a little bit in advance, the fresher, the better. If you prep them too early, they’ll go brown.
- To peel or not to peel. It can go either way. I prefer to remove the peel before slicing and air-frying the apples, but if you want to leave it on that’s fine too.
- Slice the apples evenly. We want all the slices roughly the same size so they cook at the same rate.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. Air fry the apples in as much of a single layer as possible so they cook evenly.
- Keep in mind that all air fryers and apples are different. Check back early to make sure you don’t overcook the apples, then add time as needed.
- Serve for baby-led weaning. Since they’re soft, they’re a safe way to serve apples. And it certainly helps that they taste delicious!
