Tips for making the best air fried apples.
When selecting apples, opt for firm apples that can be baked with. I like Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, or Fuji.
More helpful tips for you.
- While my apples have the skin on them, you can peel yours. The skin does have some benefits as it can help hold the soft insides together.
- When you slice your apples, make sure that they are sliced into a uniform size so that they will air fry informally and at the same time.
- When you place your apple slices into your air fryer, make sure that they are not overlapping one another and that there is room between them for the warm air to circulate.
- Start checking the apples at the eight-minute mark. Air fry times can vary depending on the thickness of the slices and the type of apple.
- Serve the apples warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert. You can also drizzle some caramel sauce or sprinkle some chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
