Ingredients
2 medium Apples (Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp)
1 tbsp Melted Butter or Coconut Oil
½ tsp Cinnamo
1 tsp Brown Sugar (optional)
Pinch of Salt (Optional)
Instructions
- Wash, peel, core, and dice your apples into ½-inch pieces. Aim for uniform sizes for even cooking
- In a medium bowl, toss the apple pieces with melted butter or coconut oil, cinnamon, brown sugar (if using), and a tiny pinch of salt. Ensure every piece is coated well
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes
- Carefully place the seasoned apples in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd. Cook for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through
- Cook until the apples are tender but not mushy, with slight caramelization. Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer and apple thickness
Notes
Don't Overcrowd: Cook in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the basket prevents even cooking and crispy edges.
Shake the Basket: Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking. This promotes even browning and tenderness.
Uniform Size: Cut fruit into similar-sized pieces to ensure everything cooks at the same rate.
Adjust Timing: Air fryer models vary. Start with the minimum cooking time and add more if needed. Keep an eye on your quick air fryer kid friendly desserts.
Spray Lightly: A light spray of cooking oil on the basket can prevent sticking, especially with sticky fruit.
Storage: Store any leftover apple bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes until warmed through. They will regain some crispness.
Serving Suggestions: Serve with vanilla ice cream, plain Greek yogurt, whipped cream, or a drizzle of almond or peanut butter.
