Why you will love Air Fryer Apples.
There is no doubt that apples are a quintessential fall favorite.
From crock pot apple pie to an old-fashioned applesauce recipe, there are so many varieties of apples that make seasonal recipes a snap.
And with an air fryer, it’s so easy to soften up some apples in under 15 minutes, so no matter whether it’s Thanksgiving recipes or Christmas or you are just dying for the smell and taste of apples year-round, they will be there to comfort you.
This particular recipe has been created with my 6.5 quart Ninja Foodi Air Fryer, one of my top 5 kitchen essential items, but I am sure it is easily transferable to your air fryer brand as well.

Apple Skins on or Apple Skins off?
When it comes to this recipe, the apple skins can be left on, or the apple skins can be taken off. This is more of a preference thing.
Use an apple corer and slicer for even apple cuts and then, if chosen, a paring knife to carefully remove skins leaving as much of the apple flesh as possible.
If you do not have an apple corer, they are a great kitchen item that makes apple recipes or simply eating apples a lot easier. Smooth even slices every time! Apple corers can be bought at Walmart, Target, or Amazon.

Baked Apples in Air Fryer
Place clean, sliced (and if you take off the skins, do that) apples in a shallow dish.
Add about 1/2″ of water and microwave for 2 minutes.
Set the apples aside to cool.
Mix together cinnamon and white sugar.
Coat apples with cinnamon and sugar and place them into the black inner Air Crisp Ninja Foodi air fryer basket.
Keep apples in a single layer and make sure they do not touch.
Spray apples with nonstick cooking spray.
Set Foodi to air crisp at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remember that you can lift the air-crisp lid easily to check on apple slices.
When cooking is complete, remove the hot apples and serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
