These air-fried apple wedges are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried snacks. Coated in a cinnamon-sugar mix, they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a perfect treat for kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
- 3 medium apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or brown sugar for a deeper flavor)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (optional for added richness)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples:
- Wash and core the apples, then cut them into wedges (about 8 wedges per apple).
- In a large bowl, toss the apple wedges with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Make the Coating:
- In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, sugar, and salt. If using olive oil or melted butter, drizzle it over the apple wedges and toss to coat.
- Coat the Apple Wedges:
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apple wedges and toss until evenly coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Apple Wedges:
- Arrange the apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the apple wedges are golden brown and tender.
- Serve:
- Remove the apple wedges from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve warm as a snack or dessert, optionally drizzled with honey or served with yogurt for dipping.
