When it comes to fruit, apples happen to be my kids’ ultimate favorite. We always have apples in our kitchen! The other day, I found myself with quite a bit of apples (my husband went on a grocery shopping spree!) and I wanted to use them up before they went bad. This is how my air fryer apples came about!
What I love about this dessert is that it’s nearly guilt-free. It contains zero sugar and instead, gets its delicious flavor from maple syrup and ground cinnamon.

Air Fryer Apples Tips
What Kind Of Apples Do I Use To Make Air Fryer Apples?
We highly recommend using red apples for this recipe. For these photos, we used Gala apples. Sweet red apples would be a great choice, such as:
- Fuji Apples
- Ambrosia Apples
- Honeycrisp Apples
- Red Delicious Apples
Do I Need To Peel And Core The Apples?
Yes, for this particular recipe, we highly recommend coring and peeling each apple. This way, you get the best possible texture after they bake in the air fryer.
How Can I Garnish My Air Fryer Apples?
The best part about these air fryer apples is that they taste fantastic when served plain, but are totally elevated when garnished with the right toppings! Try them out with:
- Granola (as seen in the photos of this post)
- Chia seeds
- Vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream
- Peanut butter
- Homemade crumble (oats, flour, butter)
Don’t Overcrowd Your Air Fryer Basket!
You’ll notice that in our instructions, we say to add the chopped apples in a single layer. This is very important because when it comes to air frying, air flow is everything! Ensuring that your ingredients are laid out in a single layer will ensure even cooking/baking of your recipe.
