NOTES
All air fryers are different. I used the Cosori Air fryer for this recipe. You may have to adjust time and temperature if you have a different model.
Storage Instructions:
- These apples are best served fresh and warm out of the air fryer. If you do have leftovers, they can be reheated in the microwave.
Recipe Success Tips:
- Cut the apples into uniform slices to ensure they cook evenly and all at the same time.
- If you prefer sweeter apples I recommend using Honey Crisp. Granny Smith apples are more on the tart side but they are delicious paired with the sweet maple syrup and ice cream.
- Feel free to add any additional spices that you like, like nutmeg and allspice, or even season with apple pie spice if you have it on hand.
