Air Fryer Sliced Apples with Cinnamon and Walnuts is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy a classic treat. This super easy recipe combines the natural sweetness of apples with the warm spice of cinnamon and crunchy walnuts to create a perfect snack or dessert.
Start by washing and slicing your apples. You can peel them if you prefer, but I like to leave the skins on for the texture and nutrients.
Slice the apples into even, thin pieces for even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon, melted butter, and brown sugar. Toss the sliced apples in the mixture until they're well coated.
Arrange the apple slices in a single layer in the basket. You may need to cook them in batches if your air fryer is small.
Set your air fryer to 180°C - 360°F and cook the apple slices for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket about halfway through. The apples are done when they are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Notes
Don't cut your apples until you are ready to cook them as they will turn brown really quickly.
Try to cut the slices as evenly as possible and shake the basket halfway through cooking for an even airflow.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket, do it in batches if your air fryer basket is too small.
While cinnamon is a classic choice, don't be afraid to experiment with other spices. Nutmeg, allspice, or a pinch of cloves can add interesting flavors to your apples. If you prefer not to use brown sugar, try sweetening your apples with a touch of maple syrup or a sprinkle of coconut sugar to add flavor.
