Air-Fried Apple Wedges

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

  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. Coat the Apple Wedges:
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apple wedges and toss until evenly coated.
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.

Enjoy your delicious air-fried apple wedges!
