air fried apples

Southern Fried Apples are made with tart Granny Smith apples, before being fried in brown butter, brown sugar and a warming blend of apple pie spice.

Southern Fried Apples

unsalted butter

brown sugar (packed)

tsp apple pie spice

tsp kosher salt

apples

Melt butter in a large pan over low heat until the butter becomes brown and toasty. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

Add brown sugar, apple pie spice, and kosher salt to the browned butter and whisk until combined. Slowly add the sliced apples and stir to coat the apples.

Cover the pan and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, until the apples have softened. You will notice that the liquid has increased in the pan.

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high heat and continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring until the liquid has reduced about halfway and becomes syrupy. Remove from heat. Serve with ice cream or whipped topping.

Warm cinnamon and maple-glazed air fryer apples are the perfect healthy dessert that everyone will love! They are vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.

Air Fryer Apples

red apples (pink lady, honey crisp,

Tbsp real maple syrup (divided)

Tbsp melted coconut oil

cinnamon

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F and lightly spray with non-stick spray.

Add the peeled apple cubes into a bowl and toss with 1 Tablespoon maple syrup, coconut oil, and cinnamon.

Add apple cubes to the heated air fryer basket. Make sure they don’t overlap too much, or else they will not cook properly.

Air fry for 10 - 14 minutes, shaking halfway through. They should be golden, slightly crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. 

Remove from the air fryer and toss the warm apples in 1 Tablespoon of maple syrup. 

Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream, oatmeal, or on its own!

This is so good and so easy, I served with some plain Greek yogurt sweetened with swerve! Yummy 😋

These were very good! I had it with vegan vanilla ice cream :3

These were gorgeous! I served with Greek yoghurt and a drizzle of maple syrup, already looking forward to doing them again 😋

Instead of the air fryer I used a cast iron skillet!  It was the bomb and I used a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Delicious !  Thanks for this quick desert recipe.

Thank you for the apple air fryer recipe.  That will help my sweet tooth with weight loss journey.  The maple syrup added a lot of wonderful flavor!

Awesome! 
I used homemade buttermilk syrup with cinnamon and my kids flipped. So good with vanilla ice cream as a sweet treat. Perfect temp and timing. ~chef’s kiss
